Rusty Russell on Nostr: I think I got nerd sniped into implementing online compaction for CLN's gossip store. ...
I think I got nerd sniped into implementing online compaction for CLN's gossip store. Mainly from people agitating that we should use a DB for gossip messages.
This will speed startup and reduce memory usage. And it's only going to take me a couple of days' work, depending on how many side-cleanups I do.
It can be hard to tell a flawed implementation of a good idea from a bad idea. But trust me, this is gonna be great!
