since now we have time in the msgs and we might crash between writing
the priv val and writing to wal.

Refs #984

Update all BlockValidation that it matches the last state

Fixes #974

Update state to keep track of this info.
Change function args as needed.
Make NumTx also an int64 for consistency.

String() and Proposal valid after serializing.
To be safe, but mainly to increase test coverage for the PR

fixes issue with vote serialization breaking the signatures

types/vote_test.go now checks signature on a serialized and
then deserialized vote. Turns out go-wire time encoding doesn't
respect timezones, and the signatures don't check out.

Store it as time.Timestamp locally, encode it as RFC3339 with milliseconds
before signing the canonical form.

uint64 is considered dangerous. the details will follow in a blog post.

mempool does not use pubsub

rename eventsSub to pubsub

new subscribe API

fix channel size issues and consensus tests bugs

refactor rpc client

add missing discardFromChan method

add mutex

rename pubsub to eventBus

stop eventBuses after reactor tests

remove unnecessary Unsubscribe

return subscribe helper function

move discardFromChan to where it is used

subscribe now returns an err

this gives us ability to refuse to subscribe if pubsub is at its max
capacity.

use context for control overflow

cache queries

handle err when subscribing in replay_test

rename testClientID to testSubscriber

set channel buffer capacity to 1 in replay_file

fix byzantine_test

unsubscribe from single event, not all events

refactor httpclient to return events to appropriate channels

return failing testReplayCrashBeforeWriteVote test

fix TestValidatorSetChanges

refactor code a bit

fix TestValidatorSetChanges

fixes from Bucky's review

update comment [ci skip]

test TxEventBuffer

update changelog

fix TestValidatorSetChanges (2nd attempt)

only do wg.Done when no errors

benchmark event bus

create pubsub server inside NewEventBus

only expose config params (later if needed)

set buffer capacity to 0 so we are not testing cache

new tx event format: key = "Tx" plus a tag {"tx.hash": XYZ}

This should allow to subscribe to all transactions! or a specific one
using a query: "tm.events.type = Tx and tx.hash = '013ABF99434...'"

use TimeoutCommit instead of afterPublishEventNewBlockTimeout

TimeoutCommit is the time a node waits after committing a block, before
it goes into the next height. So it will finish everything from the last
block, but then wait a bit. The idea is this gives it time to hear more
votes from other validators, to strengthen the commit it includes in the
next block. But it also gives it time to hear about new transactions.

waitForBlockWithUpdatedVals

rewrite WAL crash tests

Task:
test that we can recover from any WAL crash.

Solution:
the old tests were relying on event hub being run in the same thread (we
were injecting the private validator's last signature).

when considering a rewrite, we considered two possible solutions: write
a "fuzzy" testing system where WAL is crashing upon receiving a new
message, or inject failures and trigger them in tests using something
like https://github.com/coreos/gofail.

remove sleep

no cs.Lock around wal.Save

test different cases (empty block, non-empty block, ...)

comments

add comments

test 4 cases: empty block, non-empty block, non-empty block with smaller part size, many blocks

fixes as per Bucky's last review

reset subscriptions on UnsubscribeAll

use a simple counter to track message for which we panicked

also, set a smaller part size for all test cases
