We stopped testing these configurations a while ago, and it doesn't
really make sense to allow nodes to run in this configuration. This
drops support for non-blocksync nodes and cleans up the
configuration/tests accordingly.
Closes: #6908
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.
This commit should be one of the first to land as part of the v0.36
cycle *after* cutting the 0.35 branch.
The blocksync/v2 reactor was originally implemented as an experiement
to produce an implementation of the blockstack protocol that would be
easier to test and validate, but it was never appropriately
operationalized and this implementation was never fully debugged. When
the p2p layer was refactored as part of the 0.35 cycle, the v2
implementation was not refactored and it was left in the codebase but
not removed. This commit just removes all references to it.
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'
```
This is just a configuration change to default to using the new stack
unless explicitly disabled (e.g. `UseLegacy`) this renames the
configuration value and makes the configuration logic more clear.
The legacy option is good to retain as a fallback if the new stack has
issues operationally, but we should make sure that most of the time
we're using the new stack.
## Description
Expose p2p functions for use in the sdk.
These functions could also be copied over to the sdk. I dont have a preference of which is better.
Executed a local network using simapp and looked for logs that seemed superfluous. This isn't by any means an exhaustive grooming, but should drastically help legibility of logs.
ref: #5912
Closes#5291. Adds a randomized testnet generator. Nightly CI job will be submitted separately. A few of the testnets can be a bit flaky, even after disabling known-faulty behavior and making minor tweaks, and the larger networks may be too resource-intensive to run in CI - this will be optimized separately.
