AppendVecs that are older than (slots_per_epoch - SLOT-OFFSET) are squashed together."

The smallest size of ideal ancient storage.

Create ancient storages in one shot instead of appending.

Enables the experimental accumulator hash

The number of pubkey bins used for accounts hash calculation.

The number of ancient storages the ancient slot combining should converge to.

How large the read cache for account data can become, in mebibytes

Debug option to use different type of filtering for accounts index scan in shrinking. "all" will scan both in-memory and on-disk accounts index, which is the default. "only-abnormal" will scan in-memory accounts index only for abnormal entries and skip scanning on-disk accounts index by assuming that on-disk accounts index contains only normal accounts index entry. "only-abnormal-with-verify" is similar to "only-abnormal", which will scan in-memory index for abnormal entries, but will also verify that on-disk account entries are indeed normal."

Snapshots use the experimental accumulator hash

Squash multiple account storage files together using this method

Debug option to skip rewrites for rent-exempt accounts but still add them in bank delta hash calculation"

Verifies the experimental accumulator hash

Debug option to scan all append vecs and verify account index refcounts prior to clean"

How many accounts to add to stress the system. Accounts are ignored in operations related to correctness.

Size per filler account in bytes.

Allow contacting private ip addresses

Delay leader block creation while replaying a block which descends from the current fork and has a lower slot than our next leader slot. If we don't delay here, our new leader block will be on a different fork from the block we are replaying and there is a high chance that the cluster will confirm that block's fork rather than our leader block's fork because it was created before we started creating ours."

Disable reporting of OS CPU statistics.

Disable reporting of OS disk statistics.

Disable reporting of OS memory statistics.

Skip checks for OS network limits.

Disable reporting of OS network statistics.

Skip the check for PoH speed.

Do not perform TCPUDP reachable port checks at start-up

Do not skip the initial cleaning of accounts when verifying snapshot bank

If the validator starts up with no ledger, it will wait to start block production until it sees a vote land in a rooted slot. This prevents double signing. Turn off to risk double signing a block."

The number of QUIC endpoints used for TPU and TPU-Forward. It can be increased to increase network ingest throughput, at the expense of higher CPU and general validator load.

Do normal epoch rewards distribution, but also calculate rewards using the partitioned rewards code path and compare the resulting vote and stake accounts"

Force the partitioned rewards distribution, but distribute all rewards in the first slot in the epoch. This should match consensus with the normal rewards distribution."

Specify hashes per batch in PoH service

EXPERIMENTAL: Specify which CPU core PoH is pinned to

Process the local ledger fully before starting networking services

A list of validators to prioritize repairs from. If specified, repair requests from validators in the list will be prioritized over requests from other validators. [default: all validators]"

The compression algorithm that is used to compress transaction status data. Turning on compression can save ~10% of the ledger size."

Controls how often RocksDB readwrite performance samples are collected. Perf samples are collected in 1 ROCKS_PERF_SAMPLE_INTERVAL sampling rate."

Name of BigTable instance to target

The size of transactions to be sent in batch.

The rate at which transactions sent via rpc service are sent in batch.

Controls the rate of the clients connections per IpAddr per minute.

Controls the max concurrent connections per IpAddr.

Controls the max concurrent connections for TPU-forward from staked nodes.

Controls the max concurrent connections for TPU-forward from unstaked nodes.

Controls the max concurrent connections for TPU from staked nodes.

Controls the max number of streams for a TPU service.

Controls the max concurrent connections fort TPU from unstaked nodes.

Use QUIC to send transactions.

Controls if to use QUIC to send votes.

Only used during coordinated cluster restarts. nn Need to also specify the leader's pubkey in --wen-restart-leader. nn When specified, the validator will enter Wen Restart mode which pauses normal activity. Validators in this mode will gossip their last vote to reach consensus on a safe restart slot and repair all blocks on the selected fork. The safe slot will be a descendant of the latest optimistically confirmed slot to ensure we do not roll back any optimistically confirmed slots. nn The progress in this mode will be saved in the file location provided. If consensus is reached, the validator will automatically exit with 200 status code. Then the operators are expected to restart the validator with --wait_for_supermajority and other arguments (including new shred_version, supermajority slot, and bankhash) given in the error log before the exit so the cluster will resume execution. The progress file will be kept around for future debugging. nn If wen_restart fails, refer to the progress file (in proto3 format) for further debugging and watch the discord channel for instructions."

Specifies the pubkey of the leader used in wen restart. May get stuck if the leader used is different from others."
