A few notes:
- this is not all the deletion that we can do, but this is the most
"simple" case: it leaves in shims, and there's some trivial
additional cleanup to the transport that can happen but that
requires writing more code, and I wanted this to be easy to review
above all else.
- This should land *after* we cut the branch for 0.35, but I'm
anticipating that to happen soon, and I wanted to run this through
CI.
The code in the Tendermint repository makes heavy use of import aliasing.
This is made necessary by our extensive reuse of common base package names, and
by repetition of similar names across different subdirectories.
Unfortunately we have not been very consistent about which packages we alias in
various circumstances, and the aliases we use vary. In the spirit of the advice
in the style guide and https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#imports,
his change makes an effort to clean up and normalize import aliasing.
This change makes no API or behavioral changes. It is a pure cleanup intended
o help make the code more readable to developers (including myself) trying to
understand what is being imported where.
Only unexported names have been modified, and the changes were generated and
applied mechanically with gofmt -r and comby, respecting the lexical and
syntactic rules of Go. Even so, I did not fix every inconsistency. Where the
changes would be too disruptive, I left it alone.
The principles I followed in this cleanup are:
- Remove aliases that restate the package name.
- Remove aliases where the base package name is unambiguous.
- Move overly-terse abbreviations from the import to the usage site.
- Fix lexical issues (remove underscores, remove capitalization).
- Fix import groupings to more closely match the style guide.
- Group blank (side-effecting) imports and ensure they are commented.
- Add aliases to multiple imports with the same base package name.
The responses from node RPCs encode hash values as hexadecimal strings. This
behaviour is stipulated in our OpenAPI documentation. In some cases, however,
hashes received as JSON parameters were being decoded as byte buffers, as is
the convention for JSON.
This resulted in the confusing situation that a hash reported by one request
(e.g., broadcast_tx_commit) could not be passed as a parameter to another
(e.g., tx) via JSON, without translating the hex-encoded output hash into the
base64 encoding used by JSON for opaque bytes.
Fixes#6802.
Ethermint currently has to maintain a map height-> block hash on the store (see here) as it needs to expose the eth_getBlockByHash JSON-RPC query for Web3 compatibility. This query is currently not supported by the tendermint RPC client.
Closes#4603

where q is a macros rewriting the `errors.Wrap` to `fmt.Errorf`.
