Closes: #4420
Created a new error ErrInvalidHeaderwhich can be formed during the verification process verifier.go and will result in the replacement of the primary provider with a witness by executing: replacePrimaryProvider()
Co-authored-by: Anton Kaliaev <anton.kalyaev@gmail.com>
error itself is not enough since it only signals if there were any
errors. Either (types.SignedHeader) or (success bool) is needed to
indicate the status of the operation. Returning a header is optimal
since most of the clients will want to get a newly verified header
anyway.
We first introduced auto-update as a separate struct AutoClient, which
was wrapping Client and calling Update periodically.
// AutoClient can auto update itself by fetching headers every N seconds.
type AutoClient struct {
base *Client
updatePeriod time.Duration
quit chan struct{}
trustedHeaders chan *types.SignedHeader
errs chan error
}
// NewAutoClient creates a new client and starts a polling goroutine.
func NewAutoClient(base *Client, updatePeriod time.Duration) *AutoClient {
c := &AutoClient{
base: base,
updatePeriod: updatePeriod,
quit: make(chan struct{}),
trustedHeaders: make(chan *types.SignedHeader),
errs: make(chan error),
}
go c.autoUpdate()
return c
}
// TrustedHeaders returns a channel onto which new trusted headers are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) TrustedHeaders() <-chan *types.SignedHeader {
return c.trustedHeaders
}
// Err returns a channel onto which errors are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) Errs() <-chan error {
return c.errs
}
// Stop stops the client.
func (c *AutoClient) Stop() {
close(c.quit)
}
func (c *AutoClient) autoUpdate() {
ticker := time.NewTicker(c.updatePeriod)
defer ticker.Stop()
for {
select {
case <-ticker.C:
lastTrustedHeight, err := c.base.LastTrustedHeight()
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if lastTrustedHeight == -1 {
// no headers yet => wait
continue
}
newTrustedHeader, err := c.base.Update(time.Now())
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if newTrustedHeader != nil {
c.trustedHeaders <- newTrustedHeader
}
case <-c.quit:
return
}
}
}
Later we merged it into the Client itself with the assumption that most clients will want it.
But now I am not sure. Neither IBC nor cosmos/relayer are using it. It increases complexity (Start/Stop methods).
That said, I think it makes sense to remove it until we see a need for it (until we better understand usage behavior). We can always introduce it later 😅. Maybe in the form of AutoClient.

closes#4469
Improved speed of cleanup by using SignedHeaderAfter instead of TrustedHeader to jump from header to header.
Prune() is now called when a new header and validator set are saved and is a function dealt by the database itself
## Commits:
* prune headers and vals
* modified cleanup and tests
* fixes after my own review
* implement Prune func
* make db ops concurrently safe
* use Iterator in SignedHeaderAfter
we should iterate from height+1, not from the end!
* simplify cleanup

closes: #4455
Verifying backwards checks that the trustedHeader hasn't expired both before and after the loop in case of verifying many headers (a longer operation), but not during the loop itself.
TrustedHeader() no longer checks whether the header saved in the store has expired.
Tests have been updated to reflect the changes
## Commits:
* verify headers backwards out of trust period
* removed expiration check in trusted header func
* modified tests to reflect changes
* wrote new tests for backwards verification
* modified TrustedHeader and TrustedValSet functions
* condensed test functions
* condensed test functions further
* fix build error
* update doc
* add comments
* remove unnecessary declaration
* extract latestHeight check into a separate func

Before we were storing trustedHeader (height=1) and trustedNextVals
(height=2).
After this change, we will be storing trustedHeader (height=1) and
trustedVals (height=1). This a) simplifies the code b) fixes#4399
inconsistent pairing issue c) gives a relayer access to the current
validator set #4470.
The only downside is more jumps during bisection. If validator set
changes between trustedHeader and the next header (by 2/3 or more), the
light client will be forced to download the next header and check that
2/3+ signed the transition. But we don't expect validator set change too
much and too often, so it's an acceptable compromise.
Closes#4470 and #4399
closes#4426
The sequence and bisection methods no longer save the intermediate headers and validator sets that they require to verify a currently untrusted header.

* added tests
* handled cleanup warning
* lint fix
* removed redundant code

closes#4413 and #4419
When VerifyHeaderAtHeight() is called, TrustedHeader is initially run to check if the header has already been verified and returns the Header.
If the new header height is less than the lite clients latestTrustedHeader height, than backwards verification is performed else either sequence or bisection

Closes#4385
* extract TrustOptions into its own file
* print trusted hash before asking whenever to rollback or not
so the user could reset the light client with the trusted header
* do not return an error if rollback is aborted
reason: we trust the old header presumably, so can continue from it.
* add note about time of initial header

* remove witness if it sends us incorrect header
* require at least one witness
* fix build and tests
* rename tests and assert for specific error
* wrote a test
* fix linter errors

Currently the sequence function always starts from the trustedHeader and trustedNextVals stored in the lite client. Whereas the bisection one allows the method to be started from any combination of header and validator set. I opened up the sequence verification method to do the same

* we do not store trustingPeriod
* added test to create client from trusted store
* remove header and vals from primary
to make sure we're restoring them from the DB
As opposed to checking a random witness, all witnesses provided should be used as a reference against the header provided by the primary node. This increases security (at the tradeoff of speed) but also gives control to the user. The more witnesses provided, the more secure the lite client can be.
Closes#4328
When TrustedHeader(height) is called, if the height is less than the trusted height but the header is not in the trusted store then a function finds the previous lowest height with a trusted header and performs a forwards sequential verification to the header of the height that was given. If no error is found it updates the trusted store with the header and validator set for that height and can then return them to the user.
Commits:
* drafted trusted header
* created function to find previous trusted height
* updates missing headers less than the trusted height
* minor cosmetic tweaks
* incorporated suggestions

Closes issue #4338
Uses a wrapper function around both the signedHeader and validatorSet calls to the primary provider which attempts to retrieve the information 5 times before deeming the provider unavailable and replacing the primary provider with the first alternative before trying recursively again (until all alternatives are depleted)
Employs a mutex lock for any operations involving the providers of the light client to ensure no operations occurs whilst the new primary is chosen.
Commits:
* created swapProvider function
* eliminates old primary provider after replacement. Uses a mutex when changing providers
* renamed to replaceProvider
* created wrapped functions for signed header and val set
* created test for primary provider replacement
* implemented suggested revisions
* created Witnesses() and Primary()

* halved the backoff time
* removed seeding and added comments

* lite2: add Start method
There are few reasons to do that:
1) separation of state and dynamics (some users will want to delay
starting the light client; does not matter we should not allow them
to create a light client object)
2) less important, but some users might not need autoUpdateRoutine and
removeNoLongerTrustedHeadersRoutine routines
* lite2: wait till routines are finished in Stop
because they are started in Start, it feels more natural to wait for
them to finish in Stop.
* lite2: add TrustedValidatorSet func
* refactor cleanup code
* changed restore header and val function to handle negative height
* reverted restoreTrustedHeaderAndNextVals() functionality

Most of the users will want auto update feature, so it makes sense to
move it into the Client itself, rather than having a separate
abstraction (it makes the code cleaner, but introduces an extra thing
the user will need to learn).
Also, add `FirstTrustedHeight` func to Client to get first trusted height.
