I think it's nice when the Client interface has all the methods. If someone does not need a particular method/set of methods, she can use individual interfaces (e.g. NetworkClient, MempoolClient) or write her own interface.

technically breaking

Fixes #3458

* limit number of /subscribe clients and queries per client

Add the following config variables (under [rpc] section):
  * max_subscription_clients
  * max_subscriptions_per_client
  * timeout_broadcast_tx_commit

Fixes #2826

new HTTPClient interface for subscriptions

finalize HTTPClient events interface

remove EventSubscriber

fix data race

==================
```

lite client works (tested manually)

godoc comments

httpclient: do not close the out channel

use TimeoutBroadcastTxCommit

no timeout for unsubscribe

but 1s Local (5s HTTP) timeout for resubscribe

format code

change Subscribe#out cap to 1

and replace config vars with RPCConfig

TimeoutBroadcastTxCommit can't be greater than rpcserver.WriteTimeout

rpc: Context as first parameter to all functions

reformat code

fixes after my own review

fixes after Ethan's review

add test stubs

fix config.toml

* fixes after manual testing

- rpc: do not recommend to use BroadcastTxCommit because it's slow and wastes
Tendermint resources (pubsub)
- rpc: better error in Subscribe and BroadcastTxCommit
- HTTPClient: do not resubscribe if err = ErrAlreadySubscribed

* fixes after Ismail's review

* Update rpc/grpc/grpc_test.go

- we always connect to nodes given in config/flags

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

comment out failing consensus tests for now

rewrite rpc httpclient to use new pubsub package

import pubsub as tmpubsub, query as tmquery

make event IDs constants
EventKey -> EventTypeKey

rename EventsPubsub to PubSub

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

remove IsRunning from WSRPCConnection interface (not needed)

add a comment in broadcastNewRoundStepsAndVotes

rename registerEventCallbacks to broadcastNewRoundStepsAndVotes

See https://dave.cheney.net/2014/03/19/channel-axioms

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

extract var

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 testReplayCrashBeforeWriteVote

add comment

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
