Now that shutdown is handled by contexts in most cases, I think it's
fair to cleanup the way this reactor shuts down. Additionaly there
were a few cases where the `blockSyncOutBridgeCh` was misshandled and
could have lead to a deadlock which I observed in some tests
Our test cases spew a lot of files and directories around $TMPDIR. Make more
thorough use of the testing package's TempDir methods to ensure these are
cleaned up.
In a few cases, this required plumbing test contexts through existing helper
code. In a couple places an explicit path was required, to work around cases
where we do global setup during a TestMain function. Those cases probably
deserve more thorough cleansing (preferably with fire), but for now I have just
worked around it to keep focused on the cleanup.
This pull request merges in the changes for implementing Proposer-based timestamps into `master`. The power was primarily being done in the `wb/proposer-based-timestamps` branch, with changes being merged into that branch during development. This pull request represents an amalgamation of the changes made into that development branch. All of the changes that were placed into that branch have been cleanly rebased on top of the latest `master`. The changes compile and the tests pass insofar as our tests in general pass.
### Note To Reviewers
These changes have been extensively reviewed during development. There is not much new here. In the interest of making effective use of time, I would recommend against trying to perform a complete audit of the changes presented and instead examine for mistakes that may have occurred during the process of rebasing the changes. I gave the complete change set a first pass for any issues, but additional eyes would be very appreciated.
In sum, this change set does the following:
closes#6942
merges in #6849
This continues the push of plumbing contexts through tendermint. I
attempted to find all goroutines in the production code (non-test) and
made sure that these threads would exit when their contexts were
canceled, and I believe this PR does that.
This is a very small change, but removes a method from the
`service.Service` interface (a win!) and forces callers to explicitly
pass loggers in to objects during construction rather than (later)
injecting them. There's not a real need for this kind of lazy
construction of loggers, and I think a decent potential for confusion
for mutable loggers.
The main concern I have is that this changes the constructor API for
ABCI clients. I think this is fine, and I suspect that as we plumb
contexts through, and make changes to the RPC services there'll be a
number of similar sorts of changes to various (quasi) public
interfaces, which I think we should welcome.
This PR adds an initial set of metrics for use ABCI. The initial metrics enable the calculation of timing histograms and call counts for each of the ABCI methods. The metrics are also labeled as either 'sync' or 'async' to determine if the method call was performed using ABCI's `*Async` methods.
An example of these metrics is included here for reference:

```
These metrics can easily be graphed using prometheus's `histogram_quantile(...)` method to pick out a particular quantile to graph or examine. I chose buckets that were somewhat of an estimate of expected range of times for ABCI operations. They start at .0001 seconds and range to 25 seconds. The hope is that this range captures enough possible times to be useful for us and operators.
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.
While working on tendermint my colleague @jinmannwong fixed a few of the unit tests that we found to be flaky in our CI. We thought that you might find this useful, see below for comments.
