This change introduces two key optimizations:

  • Mutex scope reduction: Limits the lock to individual partitions within TaggedCache, reducing contention.
  • Decoupling: Removes the tight coupling between LedgerHistory and TaggedCache, improving modularity and testability.

Lock contention analysis based on eBPF showed significant improvements as a result of this change.

High Level Overview of Change

Context of Change

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Refactor (non-breaking change that only restructures code)
  • Performance (increase or change in throughput and/or latency)
  • Tests (you added tests for code that already exists, or your new feature included in this PR)
  • Documentation update
  • Chore (no impact to binary, e.g. .gitignore, formatting, dropping support for older tooling)
  • Release

API Impact

  • Public API: New feature (new methods and/or new fields)
  • Public API: Breaking change (in general, breaking changes should only impact the next api_version)
  • libxrpl change (any change that may affect libxrpl or dependents of libxrpl)
  • Peer protocol change (must be backward compatible or bump the peer protocol version)

This change introduces two key optimizations:
* Mutex scope reduction: Limits the lock to individual partitions within `TaggedCache`, reducing contention.
* Decoupling: Removes the tight coupling between `LedgerHistory` and `TaggedCache`, improving modularity and testability.
