The current aggregator implementation suffers from a flaw that it uses "random" prices. This leads to high fluctuations in reported prices from the same validator, depending on which source reported the price last and is used in the aggregator priceprovider.

This pull request introduces a consolidation of all prices for the same pair from all sources. It removes outliers (if sources > 2) and uses the median price afterwards.
On <= 2 sources it uses the mean price.

This should lead to better price reporting especially in volatile situations with multiple sources.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request introduces enhanced price aggregation functionality in the AggregatePriceProvider. The changes modify the GetPrice method to collect prices from multiple providers and implement a more sophisticated price computation strategy. New methods are added to handle price consolidation, including outlier removal, median calculation, and mean/standard deviation computation. A corresponding test file is created to validate the new aggregation logic across various scenarios.

Changes

File Change Summary
feeder/priceprovider/aggregateprovider.go - Added computeConsolidatedPrice method for advanced price calculation
- Implemented removeOutliers to filter extreme price values
- Added median and meanAndStdDev helper methods
- Modified GetPrice to collect and process multiple prices
feeder/priceprovider/aggregateprovider_test.go - Created mock price provider for testing
- Added test cases for various price aggregation scenarios:
* No valid prices
* Single price
* Two prices
* Three prices with outlier removal

🐰 Prices dancing, wild and free,
Outliers hop away with glee!
Median leaps, statistics sing,
A rabbit's math does wondrous thing!
Price provider's magic art 🧮

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

67-71: Consider logging the number of valid prices.
Although the code logs a warning when no valid prices are found, logging the count of valid prices used for consolidation could help with debugging and monitoring.


116-130: Outlier removal threshold might need tuning.
Using 1*stddev is an arbitrary cutoff that may be too strict or too lenient depending on market volatility. You might consider making it configurable or adaptive.

feeder/priceprovider/aggregateprovider.go (6)

5-6: Imports look good.
These additional imports (math and sort) are appropriate for performing calculations such as outlier checks and median computations.


57-63: Good approach for collecting valid prices.
Storing valid prices in a dedicated allPrices slice improves clarity and modularity.


88-91: Well-documented function purpose.
Having clear doc comments about removing outliers and computing the median clarifies the new aggregation logic.


92-114: Mixed aggregation strategy is consistent with PR objectives.

  • Single and two-price cases are handled by straightforward returns/averages.
  • For three or more prices, outliers are removed and a median is taken.
    This design aligns with the stated goal of stabilizing reported prices.

132-141: Efficient and correct median calculation.
Sorting first and then taking the middle elements is straightforward and mathematically correct for this small dataset scenario.


142-156: Sample variance vs. population variance.
Using len(prices) - 1 is a standard approach for sample variance. Ensure that this is the intended statistical treatment for your data source (sample-based or population-based).

feeder/priceprovider/aggregateprovider_test.go (7)

1-10: Imports are concise and appropriate.
They cover necessary packages (testing, require, etc.) for robust test development.


12-16: Mock provider is straightforward.
This makes the tests more deterministic by controlling returned prices.


17-23: Robust default for non-existent prices.
Returning {Price: -1, Valid: false} cleanly signals invalid data in the tests.


25-34: Tests invalid price scenario.
This scenario validates correct fallback behavior when no valid prices are available.


35-50: Single price test covers minimal valid data flow.
Properly confirms the aggregator returns the single valid price without modification.


52-69: Correct averaging logic for two inputs.
Verifies that the aggregator computes a simple average of two valid prices.


71-115: Thorough outlier removal and median testing.
These tests validate multiple scenarios, including removing a large outlier among three or four providers, confirming the intended behavior.
