downloads.rs

//! Transaction downloader and verifier.
//!
//! The main struct [`Downloads`] allows downloading and verifying transactions.
//! It is used by the mempool to get transactions into it. It is also able to
//! just verify transactions that were directly pushed.
//!
//! The verification itself is done by the [`zebra_consensus`] crate.
//!
//! Verified transactions are returned to the caller in [`Downloads::poll_next`].
//! This is in contrast to the block downloader and verifiers which don't
//! return anything and forward the verified blocks to the state themselves.
//!
//! # Correctness
//!
//! The mempool downloader doesn't send verified transactions to the [`Mempool`]
//! service. So Zebra must spawn a task that regularly polls the downloader for
//! ready transactions. (To ensure that transactions propagate across the entire
//! network in each 75s block interval, the polling interval should be around
//! 5-10 seconds.)
//!
//! Polling the downloader from [`Mempool::poll_ready`] is not sufficient.
//! [`Service::poll_ready`] is only called when there is a service request.
//! But we want to download and gossip transactions,
//! even when there are no other service requests.
//!
//! [`Mempool`]: super::Mempool
//! [`Mempool::poll_ready`]: super::Mempool::poll_ready
