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.
## Description
- Add deprecated to config values in toml
- update config in configuration doc
- explain how to set up a node with the new network
- add sentence about not needing to fork tendermint for built-in tutorial
- closes#6865
- add note to use a released version of tendermint with the tutorials. This is to avoid unknown issues prior to a release.
The 0.35 release cycle renamed the 'fastsync' functionality to 'blocksync'. This change brings the configuration parameters in line with that change. Namely, it updates the configuration file `[fastsync]` field to be `[blocksync]` and changes the command line flag and config file parameters `--fast-sync` and `fast-sync` to `--enable-block-sync` and `enable-block-sync` respectively.
Error messages were added to help users encountering these changes be able to quickly make the needed update to their files/scripts.
When using the old command line argument for fast-sync, the following is printed
```
./build/tendermint start --proxy-app=kvstore --consensus.create-empty-blocks=false --fast-sync=false
ERROR: invalid argument "false" for "--fast-sync" flag: --fast-sync has been deprecated, please use --enable-block-sync
```
When using one of the old config file parameters, the following is printed:
```
./build/tendermint start --proxy-app=kvstore --consensus.create-empty-blocks=false
ERROR: error in config file: a configuration parameter named 'fast-sync' was found in the configuration file. The 'fast-sync' parameter has been renamed to 'enable-block-sync', please update the 'fast-sync' field in your configuration file to 'enable-block-sync'
```
@p4u from vocdoni.io reported that the mempool might behave incorrectly under a
high load. The consequences can range from pauses between blocks to the peers
disconnecting from this node.
My current theory is that the flowrate lib we're using to control flow
(multiplex over a single TCP connection) was not designed w/ large blobs
(1MB batch of txs) in mind.
I've tried decreasing the Mempool reactor priority, but that did not
have any visible effect. What actually worked is adding a time.Sleep
into mempool.Reactor#broadcastTxRoutine after an each successful send ==
manual control flow of sort.
As a temporary remedy (until the mempool package
is refactored), the max-batch-bytes was disabled. Transactions will be sent
one by one without batching
Closes#5796
When set to true, an invalid transaction will be kept in the cache (this may help some applications to protect against spam).
NOTE: this is a temporary config option. The more correct solution would be to add a TTL to each transaction (i.e. CheckTx may return a TTL in ResponseCheckTx).
Closes: #5751
## Description
- separate docs related to running nodes into the nodes dir.
- keep old files but dont display them
- bring over debugging like a pro blog
Closes: #XXX
