- Detects if the consensus process is "stalled". If it is, then we can declare a
consensus and end successfully even if we do not have 80% agreement on
our proposal.
- "Stalled" is defined as:
- We have a close time consensus
- Each disputed transaction is individually stalled:
- It has been in the final "stuck" 95% requirement for at least 2
(avMIN_ROUNDS) "inner rounds" of phaseEstablish,
- and either all of the other trusted proposers or this validator, if proposing,
have had the same vote(s) for at least 4 (avSTALLED_ROUNDS) "inner
rounds", and at least 80% of the validators (including this one, if
appropriate) agree about the vote (whether yes or no).
- If we have been in the establish phase for more than 10x the previous
consensus establish phase's time, then consensus is considered "expired",
and we will leave the round, which sends a partial validation (indicating
that the node is moving on without validating). Two restrictions avoid
prematurely exiting, or having an extended exit in extreme situations.
- The 10x time is clamped to be within a range of 15s
(ledgerMAX_CONSENSUS) to 120s (ledgerABANDON_CONSENSUS).
- If consensus has not had an opportunity to walk through all avalanche
states (defined as not going through 8 "inner rounds" of phaseEstablish),
then ConsensusState::Expired is treated as ConsensusState::No.
- When enough nodes leave the round, any remaining nodes will see they've
fallen behind, and move on, too, generally before hitting the timeout. Any
validations or partial validations sent during this time will help the
consensus process bring the nodes back together.
