[executor] dealing with Counters #712

Open wlawt opened 8 months ago

wlawt commented 8 months ago

Motivation: https://github.com/ava-labs/hypersdk/issues/701#issuecomment-1930109844

Brainstorming how to approach this. Rough ideas listed below (haven't been thoroughly thought out yet):

How to deal with shared Counters for non-fungible and fungible
Have a special function in the Execution Engine that is additive (pre-computes the max count and make sure we don't go over the max as we increase the count)
If we go the pre-compute IDs path -> how do we deal with users claiming IDs? or is there a better/different approach?

Mind if I throw my thoughts into this brainstorming post/issue? We're researching(and beginning developing) use of a monotonic counter(to create virtual counters) that can be parallelized.

Can you explain what a shared counter is?

wlawt commented 8 months ago

@MuffinsThaCat this idea is still being thought out and is mostly in the early stages. I'm going to be sharing updates using this issue with any ideas that come up :)

Great twitter post on the topic William, easy enough to follow without being too technical, thank you!

This issue has become stale because it has been open 60 days with no activity. Adding the lifecycle/frozen label will exempt this issue from future lifecycle events.
