Sam Kleinman cbae5f9f53 abci: avoid having untracked requests in the channel (#8382)
It seems to me that by adding requests to the clients tracker (the
`reqSent` linked list), then there's no need to actually drain the
channel, becuase we will mark all of these requests as done/errored
(which propogates to users, as users never get future objects any
more), and then the GC can reap all of the request objects and the
channel accordingly.

Application BlockChain Interface (ABCI)

Blockchains are systems for multi-master state machine replication. ABCI is an interface that defines the boundary between the replication engine (the blockchain), and the state machine (the application). Using a socket protocol, a consensus engine running in one process can manage an application state running in another.

Previously, the ABCI was referred to as TMSP.

The community has provided a number of additional implementations, see the Tendermint Ecosystem

Installation & Usage

To get up and running quickly, see the getting started guide along with the abci-cli documentation which will go through the examples found in the examples directory.

Specification

A detailed description of the ABCI methods and message types is contained in:

Protocol Buffers

To compile the protobuf file, run (from the root of the repo):

make protoc_abci

See protoc --help and the Protocol Buffers site for details on compiling for other languages. Note we also include a GRPC service definition.
