* check errors/panics in transaction gossip tests
* fix build of newly added tests
* Stop dropping the inbound service and mempool in a test
Keeping the mempool around avoids a transaction broadcast task error,
so we can test that there are no other errors in the task.
* Tweak variable names and add comments
* Avoid unexpected drops by returning a mempool guard in tests
* Use BoxError to simplify service types in tests
* Make all returned service types consistent in tests
We want to be able to change the setup without changing the tests.

* Create a `SyncStatus` helper type
Keeps track if the synchronizer is close to the chain tip or not.
* Refactor `ChainSync` ctor. to return `SyncStatus`
Change the constructor API so that it returns a higher level construct.
* Test if `SyncStatus` waits for the chain tip
Test if waiting for the chain tip to be reached correctly finishes when
the chain tip is reached. This is done by sending recent sync lengths to
the `SyncStatus` instance, and checking that every time a separate
`SyncStatus` instance determines it has reached the tip the original
instance wakes up.
* Add a temporary attribute to allow dead code
The code added isn't used yet, so we'll add a temporary waiver until
another PR is merged to use them.
* Minimal recent sync lengths implementation
Also includes metrics and logging, to make diagnosing bugs easier.
* Add logging to check what happens when Zebra reaches the chain tip
* Add tests for recent sync lengths
- initially empty
- pruned to correct length
- newest entries go first
* Drop a redundant `/` from a Cargo.lock URL
This seems to be a nightly or beta Rust change,
but hopefully stable just accepts it.
* Use metrics histograms to avoid overwriting values
* Add detailed syncer monitoring dashboard
* Increase the recent sync length to 4
This length makes it easier to distinguish between temporary and
sustained errors/syncs.

This timeout stops the sync service hanging when it is missing required
blocks, but the lookahead queue is full of dependent verify tasks, so the
missing blocks never get downloaded.
The metrics code becomes much simpler because the current version of the
metrics crate builds its own single-threaded runtime on a dedicated worker
thread, so no dependency on the main Zebra Tokio runtime is required.
This change is mostly mechanical, with the exception of the changes to the
`tower-batch` middleware. This middleware was adapted from `tower::buffer`,
and the `tower::buffer` code was changed to implement its own bounded queue,
because Tokio 0.3 removed the `mpsc::Sender::poll_send` method. See
ddc64e8d4d
for more context on the Tower changes. To match Tower as closely as possible
in order to be able to upstream `tower-batch`, those changes are copied from
`tower::Buffer` to `tower-batch`.
This reverts commit 656bd24ba7.
The Hedge middleware keeps a pair of histograms, writing into one in the
current time interval and reading from the previous time interval's
data. This means that the reverted change resulted in doubling all
block downloads until after at least the second measurement interval
(which means that the time measurements are also incorrect, as they're
operating under double the network load...)
Sets the default value to the previous lookahead limit. My testing on
mainnet suggested that the newly lower value (changed when the
checkpoint frequency was decreased) is low enough to cause stalls, even
when using hedged requests.
Remove the minimum data points from the syncer hedge configuragtion.
When there are no data points, hedge sends the second request
immediately.
Where there are less than 1/(1-latency_percentile) data points (20),
hedge delays the second request by the highest recent download time.
This change should improve genesis and post-restart sync latency.
We should error if we notice that we're attempting to download the same
blocks multiple times, because that indicates that peers reported bad
information to us, or we got confused trying to interpret their
responses.
The original sync algorithm split the sync process into two phases, one
that obtained prospective chain tips, and another that attempted to
extend those chain tips as far as possible until encountering an error
(at which point the prospective state is discarded and the process
restarts).
Because a previous implementation of this algorithm didn't properly
enforce linkage between segments of the chain while extending tips,
sometimes it would get confused and fail to discard responses that did
not extend a tip. To mitigate this, a check against the state was
added. However, this check can cause stalls while checkpointing,
because when a checkpoint is reached we may suddenly need to commit
thousands of blocks to the state. Because the sync algorithm now has a
a `CheckedTip` structure that ensures that a new segment of hashes
actually extends an existing one, we don't need to check against the
state while extending a tip, because we don't get confused while
interpreting responses.
This change results in significantly smoother progress on mainnet.
The timeout behavior in zebra-network is an implementation detail, not a
feature of the public API. So it shouldn't be mentioned in the doc
comments -- if we want timeout behavior, we have to layer it ourselves.
The hedge middleware implements hedged requests, as described in _The
Tail At Scale_. The idea is that we auto-tune our retry logic according
to the actual network conditions, pre-emptively retrying requests that
exceed some latency percentile. This would hopefully solve the problem
where our timeouts are too long on mainnet and too slow on testnet.
Try to use the better cancellation logic to revert to previous sync
algorithm. As designed, the sync algorithm is supposed to proceed by
downloading state prospectively and handle errors by flushing the
pipeline and starting over. This hasn't worked well, because we didn't
previously cancel tasks properly. Now that we can, try to use something
in the spirit of the original sync algorithm.
This makes two changes relative to the existing download code:
1. It uses a oneshot to attempt to cancel the download task after it
has started;
2. It encapsulates the download creation and cancellation logic into a
Downloads struct.
This reduces the API surface to the minimum required for functionality,
and cleans up module documentation. The stub mempool module is deleted
entirely, since it will need to be redone later anyways.
