node: Extend GetResource message flow to provide Candidate block
Summary
💡 Use "Flooding with Random Walk" impl (if beneficial for) in GetCandidate message flow.
Context: GetCandidate
P2P message is currently used in creating the winner block in consensus task on Quorum message arrival. It sends request to 7 random (alive) peers and waits for a response 2s. Together with that, GetCandidate search for block only in Candidates
Column Family but it could also check the Ledger
CF too.
Possible solution design or implementation
- Deprecate GetCandidate message flow.
- Extend GetResource msg flow to support
CandidateFromHash
Inventory type - Extend
handle_get_candidate
to search for a missing candidate in Ledger Column family
Additional context
GetResource (BlockFromHash
) (called in Chain
component on arrival of Quorum msg) overlaps with GetCandidate
request.
