This pull request merges in the changes for implementing Proposer-based timestamps into `master`. The power was primarily being done in the `wb/proposer-based-timestamps` branch, with changes being merged into that branch during development. This pull request represents an amalgamation of the changes made into that development branch. All of the changes that were placed into that branch have been cleanly rebased on top of the latest `master`. The changes compile and the tests pass insofar as our tests in general pass.
### Note To Reviewers
These changes have been extensively reviewed during development. There is not much new here. In the interest of making effective use of time, I would recommend against trying to perform a complete audit of the changes presented and instead examine for mistakes that may have occurred during the process of rebasing the changes. I gave the complete change set a first pass for any issues, but additional eyes would be very appreciated.
In sum, this change set does the following:
closes#6942
merges in #6849
This change has two main effects:
1. Remove most of the Async methods from the abci.Client interface.
Remaining are FlushAsync, CommitTxAsync, and DeliverTxAsync.
2. Rename the synchronous methods to remove the "Sync" suffix.
The rest of the change is updating the implementations, subsets, and mocks of
the interface, along with the call sites that point to them.
* Fix stringly-typed mock stubs.
* Rename helper method.
This continues the push of plumbing contexts through tendermint. I
attempted to find all goroutines in the production code (non-test) and
made sure that these threads would exit when their contexts were
canceled, and I believe this PR does that.
This test reliably gets hung up on network configuration, (which may
be a real issue,) but it's network setup is handcranked and we should
ensure that the test focuses on it's core assertions and doesn't fail for
test architecture reasons.
I've been noticing that there are a number of situations where the
statesync reactor blocks waiting for peers (or similar,) I've moved
things around to improve outcomes in local tests.
This PR make some tweaks to backfill after running e2e tests:
- Separates sync and backfill as two distinct processes that the node calls. The reason is because if sync fails then the node should fail but if backfill fails it is still possible to proceed.
- Removes peers who don't have the block at a height from the local peer list. As the process goes backwards if a node doesn't have a block at a height they're likely pruning blocks and thus they won't have any prior ones either.
- Sleep when we've run out of peers, then try again.
