- Added the improvement for content refresh operation from the paper, we keep the last time a content was republished, and on content update operations, we only republish if the last republish was before (current time - republishing time interval)
Before the content lookup operation used to lookup a specified set of nodes then return the latest content; a short review of the paper showed that we only lookup until we find the Value then exit as soon as we do. Made the updates to the code.
Had a bug in the content lookup operation, if the total amount of content needed was not found, a Routing exception was thrown instead of returning what was found. Fixed the issue!
When doing a NodeLookup, Content Lookup or Connect operation, after sending the message, we used to wait(operation_timeout) time before checking for a result.
Now what I'm doing is waiting for 100 ms and check for a result every 100ms; I keep a count of total time waited, and only when the total time > operation_timeout do we make a timeout.
So now we can handle the response if it comes in before Operation_timeout time is finished
- Didn't do this before, but now it's setup: content will be updated on the DHT if a StoreContentMessage is sent with a newer version of the content
GetParameter
- Updated the GetParameter so that it can be constructed from a KadContent object or a StorageEntryMetadata object
- Move it to the DHT package
Others
- Added a few methods to StorageEntryMetadata, StorageEntryManager& DHT to simplify conversions between KadContent, GetParameter & StorageEntryMetadata
Tests
- Written a test to check content updating
