// MissingNodeError is returned by the trie functions (TryGet, TryUpdate, TryDelete)
// in the case where a trie node is not present in the local database. Contains
// information necessary for retrieving the missing node through an ODR service.
//
// NodeHash is the hash of the missing node
//
// RootHash is the original root of the trie that contains the node
//
// PrefixLen is the nibble length of the key prefix that leads from the root to
// the missing node
//
// SuffixLen is the nibble length of the remaining part of the key that hints on
// which further nodes should also be retrieved (can be zero when there are no
// such hints in the error message)
