TN: Submit needs to generate blocks after backfill #165

Closed inertia186 closed 6 years ago

inertia186 commented 6 years ago

Backfill actions start 30 days before realtime. But if the backfill doesn't supply 30 days of activity, submit should just generate blocks, in the situation where the backfill is too short on actions (or if the correct number of actions provided do not actually result in blocks).

To do this, txgen should signal that the backfill is done so that submit can deal with it or ignore it. When txgen completes the backfill actions, it should signal with metadata.

When submit sees the metadata about backfill completion, it will calculate the number of blocks needed to reach realtime.
