This fixes a case where a peer can desync under a certain timing circumstance--if it reaches a certain point in consensus before it receives proposals. This was noticed under high transaction volumes. Namely, when we arrive at the point of deciding whether consensus is reached after minimum establish phase duration but before having received any proposals. This could be caused by finishing the previous round slightly faster and/or having some delay in receiving proposals. Existing behavior arrives at consensus immediately after the minimum establish duration with no proposals. This causes us to desync because we then close a non-validated ledger. The change in this PR causes us to wait for a configured threshold before making the decision to arrive at consensus with no proposals. This allows validators to catch up and for brief delays in receiving proposals to be absorbed. There should be no drawback since, with no proposals coming in, we needn't be in a huge rush to jump ahead.
rippled Source
Some of these directories come from entire outside repositories brought in
using [git-subtree][]. This means that the source files are inserted directly
into the rippled repository. They can be edited and committed just as if they
were normal files.
[git-subtree]: https://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree
If you create a commit that contains files both from a subtree, and from the
rippled source tree, please use care when designing the commit message, since
it will appear in the subtree's individual repository when the changes are
pushed back to the upstream. Better yet, do not mix files from subtrees and
ripple in the same commit at all.
