libn/networkdb: stop forging tombstone entries
When a node leaves a network, all entries owned by that node are
implicitly deleted. The other NetworkDB nodes handle the leave by
setting the deleted flag on the entries owned by the left node in their
local stores. This behaviour is problematic as it results in two
conflicting entries with the same Lamport timestamp propagating
through the cluster.
Consider two NetworkDB nodes, A, and B, which are both joined to some
network. Node A in quick succession leaves the network, immediately
rejoins it, then creates an entry. If Node B processes the
entry-creation event first, it will add the entry to its local store
then set the deleted flag upon processing the network-leave. No matter
how many times B bulk-syncs with A, B will ignore the live entry for
having the same timestamp as its local tombstone entry. Once this
situation occurs, the only way to recover is for the entry to get
updated by A with a new timestamp.
There is no need for a node to store forged tombstones for another
node's entries. All nodes will purge the entries naturally when they
process the network-leave or node-leave event. Simply delete the
non-owned entries from the local store so there is no inconsistent state
to interfere with convergence when nodes rejoin a network. Have nodes
update their local store with tombstones for entries when leaving a
network so that after a rapid leave-then-rejoin the entry deletions
propagate to nodes which may have missed the leave event.
