* Set drone address to always be the initial network entry point, so that even when leaders rotate the client can still find the drone
* Extract drone address as a separate argument to bench-tps
* Add drone port to client.sh instead of setting it in bench-tps
* Add drone entrypoint to scripts
* Fix build error
* Cluster Replicated Data Store
Separate the data storage and merge strategy from the network IO boundary.
Implement an eager push overlay for transporting recent messages.
Simulation shows fast convergence with 20k nodes.
That's supposed to be an ASCII format, but we're not making use
of it. We can switch back to that some day, but if we do, it shouldn't
be JSON-encoded.
* Add first leader to genesis entries, consume in genesis.sh
* Set bootstrap leader in the bank on startup, remove instantiation of bootstrap leader from bin/fullnode
* Remove need to initialize bootstrap leader in leader_scheduler, now can be read from genesis entries
* Add separate interface new_with_leader() in mint for creating genesis leader entries
* Add Vote Contract
* Move ownership of LeaderScheduler from Fullnode to the bank
* Modified ReplicateStage to consume leader information from bank
* Restart RPC Services in Leader To Validator Transition
* Make VoteContract Context Free
* Remove voting from ClusterInfo and Tpu
* Remove dependency on ActiveValidators in LeaderScheduler
* Switch VoteContract to have two steps 1) Register 2) Vote. Change thin client to create + register a voting account on fullnode startup
* Remove check in leader_to_validator transition for unique references to bank, b/c jsonrpc service and rpcpubsub hold references through jsonhttpserver
* Use IV to make unique identies
* Use hex! macro for hex literal and not string converted to u8 slice
* fix sha sampling to control init/end of sha state
* Move ledger write to its own stage
- Also, rename write_stage to leader_vote_stage, as write functionality
is moved to a different stage
* Address review comments
* Fix leader rotation test failure
* address review comments
* Add PoH height to process_ledger()
* Moved broadcast_stage Leader Scheduling logic to use Poh height instead of entry_height
* Moved LeaderScheduler logic to PoH in ReplicateStage
* Fix Leader scheduling tests to use PoH instead of entry height
* Change is_leader detection in repair() to use PoH instead of entry height
* Add tests to LeaderScheduler for new functionality
* fix Entry::new and genesis block PoH counts
* Moved LeaderScheduler to PoH ticks
* Cleanup to resolve PR comments
* Upload bench output as build artifacts
* Fix tags types
* Pull previous stats from metrics
* Change the default branch for comparison
* Fix formatting
* Fix build errors
* Address review comments
* Dedup some common code
* Add eval for channel info to find branch name
Generate tick entry ids and only register ticks as the last_id expected by the bank. Since the bank is MT, the in-flight pipeline of transactions cannot be close to the end of the queue or there is a high possibility that a starved thread will encode an expired last_id into the ledger. The banking_stage therefore uses a shorter age limit for encoded last_ids then the validators.
Bench client doesn't send transactions that are older then 30 seconds.
* Added LeaderScheduler module and tests
* plumbing for LeaderScheduler in Fullnode + tests. Add vote processing for active set to ReplicateStage and WriteStage
* Add LeaderScheduler plumbing for Tvu, window, and tests
* Fix bank and switch tests to use new LeaderScheduler
* move leader rotation check from window service to replicate stage
* Add replicate_stage leader rotation exit test
* removed leader scheduler from the window service and associated modules/tests
* Corrected is_leader calculation in repair() function in window.rs
* Integrate LeaderScheduler with write_stage for leader to validator transitions
* Integrated LeaderScheduler with BroadcastStage
* Removed gossip leader rotation from crdt
* Add multi validator, leader test
* Comments and cleanup
* Remove unneeded checks from broadcast stage
* Fix case where a validator/leader need to immediately transition on startup after reading ledger and seeing they are not in the correct role
* Set new leader in validator -> validator transitions
* Clean up for PR comments, refactor LeaderScheduler from process_entry/process_ledger_tail
* Cleaned out LeaderScheduler options, implemented LeaderScheduler strategy that only picks the bootstrap leader to support existing tests, drone/airdrops
* Ignore test_full_leader_validator_network test due to bug where the next leader in line fails to get the last entry before rotation (b/c it hasn't started up yet). Added a test test_dropped_handoff_recovery go track this bug
