This issue is related to #3107
This is a first renaming/refactoring step before reworking and removing heartbeats.
As discussed with @Liamsi , we preferred to go for a couple of independent and separate PRs to simplify review work.
The changes:
Help to clarify the relation between the validator and remote signer endpoints
Differentiate between timeouts and deadlines
Prepare to encapsulate networking related code behind RemoteSigner in the next PR
My intention is to separate and encapsulate the "network related" code from the actual signer.
SignerRemote ---(uses/contains)--> SignerValidatorEndpoint <--(connects to)--> SignerServiceEndpoint ---> SignerService (future.. not here yet but would like to decouple too)
All reconnection/heartbeat/whatever code goes in the endpoints. Signer[Remote/Service] do not need to know about that.
I agree Endpoint may not be the perfect name. I tried to find something "Go-ish" enough. It is a common name in go-kit, kubernetes, etc.
Right now:
SignerValidatorEndpoint:
handles the listener
contains SignerRemote
Implements the PrivValidator interface
connects and sets a connection object in a contained SignerRemote
delegates PrivValidator some calls to SignerRemote which in turn uses the conn object that was set externally
SignerRemote:
Implements the PrivValidator interface
read/writes from a connection object directly
handles heartbeats
SignerServiceEndpoint:
Does most things in a single place
delegates to a PrivValidator IIRC.
