    cmd, core, eth, graphql, trie: no persisted clean trie cache file (#27525) · 59f7b289
    rjl493456442 authored
    The clean trie cache is persisted periodically, therefore Geth can
    quickly warmup the cache in next restart.
    
    However it will reduce the robustness of system. The assumption is
    held in Geth that if the parent trie node is present, then the entire
    sub-trie associated with the parent are all prensent.
    
    Imagine the scenario that Geth rewinds itself to a past block and
    restart, but Geth finds the root node of "future state" in clean
    cache then regard this state is present in disk, while is not in fact.
    
    Another example is offline pruning tool. Whenever an offline pruning
    is performed, the clean cache file has to be removed to aviod hitting
    the root node of "deleted states" in clean cache.
    
    All in all, compare with the minor performance gain, system robustness
    is something we care more.
