Why this should be merged
Previously there were only 2 modes for bootstrap testing - state sync and full sync. This change enables support for partial sync which only processes the history of the P-Chain and is expected to be used by L1 validators.
How this works
Replaced the
StateSyncEnabled
field in the bootstrap test config withSyncMode
and 3 initial values:full-sync
,c-chain-state-sync
andp-chain-full-sync-only
. The value ofSyncMode
is determined from the set of env vars defined for an avalanchego container.How this was tested
Add unit tests to validate determination of sync mode.
