Description

Bug report

Steps:

  1. Fresh graph-node start from fresh database with config below. This creates a chain for mainnet with net_version: 1 in the database.

    [general]
    
    [store]
    [store.primary]
    connection = "postgresql://graph-node:let-me-in@localhost:5432/graph-node"
    weight = 1
    pool_size = 10
    
    [chains]
    ingestor = "block_ingestor_node"
    [chains.mainnet]
    shard = "primary"
    protocol = "ethereum"
    provider = [
      { label = "peering", url = "$RPC_NODE", features = [ "archive", "traces" ] },
    ]
    
    [deployment]
    [[deployment.rule]]
    shard = "primary"
    indexers = [ "default" ]
    
  2. Stop graph-node instance.

  3. Start it back with a Firehose only provider

    [general]
    
    [store]
    [store.primary]
    connection = "postgresql://graph-node:let-me-in@localhost:5432/graph-node"
    weight = 1
    pool_size = 10
    
    [chains]
    ingestor = "block_ingestor_node"
    [chains.mainnet]
    shard = "primary"
    protocol = "ethereum"
    provider = [
      { label = "firehose", details = { type = "firehose", url = "$FIREHOSE_ENDPOINT", token = "$STREAMING_FAST_API_TOKEN", features = [ "compression", "filters" ] }},
    ]
    
    [deployment]
    [[deployment.rule]]
    shard = "primary"
    indexers = [ "default" ]
    

Yields error message Apr 27 16:03:14.931 ERRO the net version for chain mainnet has changed from 1 to 0 since the last time we ran, component: BlockStore.

Weirdly, the network seems to still be configured correctly, so maybe it's more a warning or maybe we should just ignore net_version and keep only genesis_hash check.

Research direction

Start with the BlockStore logic that compares the stored net_version when a chain provider is changed, using the two configuration examples to reproduce the failure. Determine whether the provider switch should preserve the existing network identity or report a warning, then verify the resulting behavior against the existing chain configuration checks.
