It's only responsible for doing the handshakes, so it should be named that way,
and then we can have a Connector responsible for actually opening the TCP
connection.
The toml serializer function we are using -- maybe because of to_string_pretty
(?) barfs on structs that mix ordering of simple values and "tables", so just
keep all the Durations to the end.
This splits out the connection handling code into a try_connect closure, which
could be refactored into a Service of its own.
On creation, when we are likely to have very few peers, launch many concurrent
connections to the first few candidates in the initial candidate set, before
continuing to grow the peer set according to demand signals.
The previous implementation failed when timestamps were duplicated between
peers, because there was not a 1-1 relationship between timestamps and peers.
The disconnected_peers() function allows us to prevent duplicate
connections without maintaining shared state between the peerset and the
dial-additional-peers task.
Previously, the TimestampCollector was intended to own the address book
data, so it was intended to be cloneable and hold shared state among all
of its handles. This is now modeled more directly by an
`Arc<Mutex<AddressBook>>`, so the only functionality left in the
`TimestampCollector` is setting up the inital worker, which is better
called `spawn` than `new`.
This also fixes a problem introduced in the previous commit where the
`TimestampCollector` was dropped, causing the worker task to shut down
early.
This allows us to hide the `TimestampCollector` and to expose only the
address book data required by the inbound request service. It also lets
us have a common data structure (the `AddressBook`) for collecting peer
information that can be used to manage information that other peers
report to us.
Doctests can only test public API, so now that the Codec is private, we can't
have a doctest. Since this test was only a code example (no behaviour test),
there's no value in replacing it with a unit test.
This gives API consumers a convenient name, and makes the Rustdoc output
significantly cleaner (because `init` can return a `BoxedZebraService`, not a
`Box<dyn ...ManyTypeConstraints.......>`.
This was commented out because making the PeerConnector take a TcpStream
meant that the PeerConnector futures couldn't be constructed in the same
way as before, but now that the PeerConnector is Buffer'able, we can
just clone a buffered copy.
