What does this PR do? Why is it needed?
This PR fixes a panic that occurs soon after the first backfill batch completes, if the backfill worker count flag is set to 1 (
--backfill-worker-count=1
).Also, the default value for
--backfill-batch-size
is lowered from 64 to 32, based on testing in mainnet where it was observed that this value led to a healthier mix of peer implementations, due to the higher batch size triggering rate limits more frequently for some peer implementations.
