Make snapshot file names more user friendly #1043

Open vladtr opened 1 year ago

vladtr commented 1 year ago

Currently snapshot file names look like this: snapshot-000001a83cab9d06f55de7bba575e29594b3cca04c33267adb63cfb691db6575.bin

It would be pretty convenient to include zero-padded block height in decimal format prior to block ID. This allows a set of snapshot files to be lexicographically sorted but still be human understandable at a glance

If I recall, first few bytes of the filename encode the block number.

It is yes. I think the idea is to make it more human readable.

Yes, for sure. Just wanted to mention that in case someone wanted to be able to do something with the existing filenames. ;-)
