Grant Noble c67cdaee93 Full and archive nodes (#293 ) * Difference between full node and archive node Include a section (in Pruning.md) about the difference between the two nodes and how to run them. Misc changes to the various pruning options and sync mode options. Signed-off-by: grantnoble <grant.noble@consensys.net> * Fix two self-induced markdown lint errors. Signed-off-by: grantnoble <grant.noble@consensys.net> * Fix incorrect link to CLI-Syntax.md Signed-off-by: grantnoble <grant.noble@consensys.net> * Updates based on @MadelineMurray feedback Included a "Fast Synchronization" section in Pruning.md Signed-off-by: grantnoble <grant.noble@consensys.net> * Updates to Full/Archive node details based on dev feedback Specifically: - Archive node is full sync and not pruned - Full node is fast sync and pruned - Pruning is default on for fast sync and off for full sync. Can turn pruning on/off explicitly if they so choose. - Full nodes have the current state, so can’t serve the network with any data request (i.e. balance of address X at block Y, where Y is old). You can guarantee the latest state for everything (and some older states, but not all). Signed-off-by: grantnoble <grant.noble@consensys.net> * Fixed broken links Signed-off-by: grantnoble <grant.noble@consensys.net> * Updates based on @NicolasMassart, @timbeiko, and @RatanRSur feedback Signed-off-by: grantnoble <grant.noble@consensys.net> * Some updated inadvertently missed in the last update.
