error itself is not enough since it only signals if there were any
errors. Either (types.SignedHeader) or (success bool) is needed to
indicate the status of the operation. Returning a header is optimal
since most of the clients will want to get a newly verified header
anyway.
We first introduced auto-update as a separate struct AutoClient, which
was wrapping Client and calling Update periodically.
// AutoClient can auto update itself by fetching headers every N seconds.
type AutoClient struct {
base *Client
updatePeriod time.Duration
quit chan struct{}
trustedHeaders chan *types.SignedHeader
errs chan error
}
// NewAutoClient creates a new client and starts a polling goroutine.
func NewAutoClient(base *Client, updatePeriod time.Duration) *AutoClient {
c := &AutoClient{
base: base,
updatePeriod: updatePeriod,
quit: make(chan struct{}),
trustedHeaders: make(chan *types.SignedHeader),
errs: make(chan error),
}
go c.autoUpdate()
return c
}
// TrustedHeaders returns a channel onto which new trusted headers are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) TrustedHeaders() <-chan *types.SignedHeader {
return c.trustedHeaders
}
// Err returns a channel onto which errors are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) Errs() <-chan error {
return c.errs
}
// Stop stops the client.
func (c *AutoClient) Stop() {
close(c.quit)
}
func (c *AutoClient) autoUpdate() {
ticker := time.NewTicker(c.updatePeriod)
defer ticker.Stop()
for {
select {
case <-ticker.C:
lastTrustedHeight, err := c.base.LastTrustedHeight()
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if lastTrustedHeight == -1 {
// no headers yet => wait
continue
}
newTrustedHeader, err := c.base.Update(time.Now())
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if newTrustedHeader != nil {
c.trustedHeaders <- newTrustedHeader
}
case <-c.quit:
return
}
}
}
Later we merged it into the Client itself with the assumption that most clients will want it.
But now I am not sure. Neither IBC nor cosmos/relayer are using it. It increases complexity (Start/Stop methods).
That said, I think it makes sense to remove it until we see a need for it (until we better understand usage behavior). We can always introduce it later 😅. Maybe in the form of AutoClient.
closes: #4455
Verifying backwards checks that the trustedHeader hasn't expired both before and after the loop in case of verifying many headers (a longer operation), but not during the loop itself.
TrustedHeader() no longer checks whether the header saved in the store has expired.
Tests have been updated to reflect the changes
## Commits:
* verify headers backwards out of trust period
* removed expiration check in trusted header func
* modified tests to reflect changes
* wrote new tests for backwards verification
* modified TrustedHeader and TrustedValSet functions
* condensed test functions
* condensed test functions further
* fix build error
* update doc
* add comments
* remove unnecessary declaration
* extract latestHeight check into a separate func

Before we were storing trustedHeader (height=1) and trustedNextVals
(height=2).
After this change, we will be storing trustedHeader (height=1) and
trustedVals (height=1). This a) simplifies the code b) fixes#4399
inconsistent pairing issue c) gives a relayer access to the current
validator set #4470.
The only downside is more jumps during bisection. If validator set
changes between trustedHeader and the next header (by 2/3 or more), the
light client will be forced to download the next header and check that
2/3+ signed the transition. But we don't expect validator set change too
much and too often, so it's an acceptable compromise.
Closes#4470 and #4399
The work includes the reactor which ties together all the seperate routines involved in the design of the blockchain v2 refactor. This PR replaces #4067 which got far too large and messy after a failed attempt to rebase.

* Blockchainv 2 reactor:
+ I cleaner copy of the work done in #4067 which fell too far behind and was a nightmare to rebase.

* VoteSignBytes builds CanonicalVote
* CommitVotes implements VoteSetReader
- new CommitVotes struct holds both the Commit and the ValidatorSet and
implements VoteSetReader
- ToVote takes a ValidatorSet
* fix TestCommit
* use CommitSig.BlockID
Commits may include votes for a different BlockID, could be nil,
or different altogether. This means we can't use `commit.BlockID`
for reconstructing the sign bytes, since up to -1/3 of the commits
might be for independent BlockIDs. This means CommitSig will need to
include an indicator for what BlockID it signed - if it's not the
committed one or nil, it will need to include it fully in order to be
verified. This is unfortunate but unavoidable so long as we include
votes for non-committed BlockIDs (which we do to track validator
liveness)
* fixes from review
