* client/authority-discovery: Limit number of connections to authorities
Instead of connecting to all sentry nodes of all authorities, with this
patch the authority discovery module does the following:
- Choose one sentry node per authority at random.
- Choose MAX_NUM_AUTHORITY_CONN out of the above at random.
The module uses randomness to prevent hot spots, e.g. all nodes trying
to connect to a single node. If the authority discovery module would
choose the nodes to connect to at random on each new address that it
learns of, the node would go through a lot of connection churn. Instead
it creates a random seed at start up and uses this seed for its RNG on
each update cycle.
* client/authority-discovery: Extract address cache into own module
* client/authority-discovery/src/addr_cache: Add basic unit tests
* client/authority-discovery: Replace unwrap with expect on [u8] cmp
* .maintain/sentry-node/docker-compose.yml: Prefix endpoint flags
* client/authority-discovery/src/addr_cache: Use sort_unstable and cmp
* client/authority-discovery: Use BTreeMap in addr_cache for sorted iter
To reduce connection churn it is preferrable to have `get_subset` of the
`addr_cache` to return the same result on repeated calls. `get_subset`
iterates a map. To make the process of iteration deterministic, use a
`BTreeMap` instead of a `HashMap`.
* client/authority-discovery: Add smoke tests for intervall_at
* client/authority-discovery: Fix interval_at to fire on start
* .maintain/sentry-node: Update docker compose file
* client: Introduce --sentry-nodes flag
Enable operators to specify the public addresses of sentry nodes infront
of a validator node so that the validator node can announce the sentry
node addresses instead of its own public addresses on the DHT via the
authority discovery module.
* client/authority-discovery: Break lines at 100 characters
Limit line length to 100 instead of 120 characters.
