new pubsub package
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

/*
HTTP RPC server supporting calls via uri params, jsonrpc, and jsonrpc over websockets
# Client Requests
Suppose we want to expose the rpc function `HelloWorld(name string, num int)`.
## GET (URI)
As a GET request, it would have URI encoded parameters, and look like:
```
curl 'http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name="my_world"&num=5'
```
Note the `'` around the url, which is just so bash doesn't ignore the quotes in `"my_world"`.
This should also work:
```
curl http://localhost:8008/hello_world?name=\"my_world\"&num=5
```
A GET request to `/` returns a list of available endpoints.
For those which take arguments, the arguments will be listed in order, with `_` where the actual value should be.
## POST (JSONRPC)
As a POST request, we use JSONRPC. For instance, the same request would have this as the body:
```
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": "anything",
"method": "hello_world",
"params": {
"name": "my_world",
"num": 5
}
}
```
With the above saved in file `data.json`, we can make the request with
```
curl --data @data.json http://localhost:8008
```
## WebSocket (JSONRPC)
All requests are exposed over websocket in the same form as the POST JSONRPC.
Websocket connections are available at their own endpoint, typically `/websocket`,
though this is configurable when starting the server.
# Server Definition
Define some types and routes:
```
type ResultStatus struct {
Value string
}
// Define some routes
var Routes = map[string]*rpcserver.RPCFunc{
"status": rpcserver.NewRPCFunc(Status, "arg"),
}
// an rpc function
func Status(v string) (*ResultStatus, error) {
return &ResultStatus{v}, nil
}
```
Now start the server:
```
mux := http.NewServeMux()
rpcserver.RegisterRPCFuncs(mux, Routes)
wm := rpcserver.NewWebsocketManager(Routes)
mux.HandleFunc("/websocket", wm.WebsocketHandler)
logger := log.NewTMLogger(log.NewSyncWriter(os.Stdout))
go func() {
_, err := rpcserver.StartHTTPServer("0.0.0.0:8008", mux, logger)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}()
```
Note that unix sockets are supported as well (eg. `/path/to/socket` instead of `0.0.0.0:8008`)
Now see all available endpoints by sending a GET request to `0.0.0.0:8008`.
Each route is available as a GET request, as a JSONRPCv2 POST request, and via JSONRPCv2 over websockets.
