Expand description
BFT Agreement based on a rotating proposer in different rounds, generic futures-based implementation.
Attempt to reach BFT agreement on a candidate. Not ready for production.
Agreement is between n nodes, max_faulty of whom are faulty.
max_faulty should be less than 1/3 of nodes, otherwise agreement may never be reached.
Initiate agreement by calling agree with a generic Context, an input stream, and an
output sink. The input should never logically conclude and contain messages from all other nodes,
while the output sink
Note that it is possible to witness agreement being reached without ever seeing the candidate. Any candidates seen will be checked for validity.
Although technically the agreement will always complete (given the eventual delivery of messages), in practice it is possible for this future to conclude without having witnessed the conclusion.
Users of the Agreement future should schedule it to be pre-empted
by an external import of an agreed value.
