What
This introduces
STELLAR_CAPTIVE_CORE_HTTP_QUERY_PORT
, enabling a high-performance HTTP server on the Captive Core subprocess for fetching ledger entries.This new endpoint is plumbed all the way through the
getLedgerEntries
handler, removing those database queries entirely.This also updates the
stellar/go
monorepo reference and its cascading dependencies.Why
With CAP-66 arriving in Protocol 23 and its high-performance
/getledgerentry
endpoint (whose client was implemented in stellar/go#5542), we don't need to store ledger entries in RPC anymore.Today, we still need to provide snapshots to the simulation library, but tomorrow (in the opaque sense) we won't need to, so this is part of the transition work.
