* Problem: `ValidatorElection` and `MigrationElection` need to inherit from a common `Election` class
Solution: Factored the common logic out of `ValidatorElection` and moved it to `Election` parent class
* Problem: Adding base58 as a requirement seems to break the build...
Solution: Reverting the changes
* Problem: Responding to a suggestion for improved method naming
Solution: Refactored `get_result_by_election_id` to `get_election_result_by_id`
* Problem: No need to store different types of elections in their own tables
Solution: Remove `DB_TABLE` property from `Election` class
* Revert "Problem: No need to store different types of elections in their own tables"
This reverts commit db45374d3c690429d18a25bcc319f8056c016500.
* Problem: Missed a method in `Bigchain` class when updating the naming for an election method
Solution: Finished the refactoring
* Problem: Need a table to store data for all elections
Solution: Created the `elections` table with secondary_index `election_id`
* Problem: `Election` class needs to be updated to store concluded elections in the `elections` table
Solution: Updated the class to use the new table
* Problem: `UpsertValidatorVote` can be generalized to just be `Vote`
Solution: Renamed, refactored and moved the `Vote` class to tie in with the more general `Election` base class
* Problem: Error in docstring return signature
Solution: Fixed the docstring
* Problem: Hardcoded reference to the `VOTE_TYPE` in `Election` base class
Solution: Pointed the reference to the class variable
* Problem: Schema still refers to `ValidatorElectionVote` instead of `Vote`
Solution: Renamed `TX_SCHEMA_VALIDATOR_ELECTION_VOTE` as `TX_SCHEMA_VOTE`
* Problem: `Election` class variable `ELECTION_TYPE` is overly specific
Solution: Renamed `ELECTION_TYPE` to `OPERATION`
* Problem: Command line options for `upsert-validator` can be generalized to manage any type of election
Solution: Refactored the CLI to manage generalized elections
* Problem: Default for `show_election` not implemented for `Election` class
Solution: Create a default method that work if all fields in the 'asset[data]' can be displayed without additional formatting
* Problem: Multiple small issues with style etc.
Solution: Addressed comments from PR
* Problem: `Election` class variable to `VOTE_TYPE` unnecessary
Solution: Removed the variable and hardcoded everything to use the `Vote` class
* Problem: Minor style issues with PR
Solution: Addressing comments
* Problem: Changes to format for validator keys broke some tests
Solution: Aligned the tests to reflect the changed key format
* Problem: `election show` command displaying the base56 public key
Solution: Cast any public key to base64
* Problem: `election_parser` help message still refers to upsert-validator
Solution: Updated the help message
Solution: Transfer vote to the election public key; generalize implemenation to handle election txn type
* Problem: Upsert valdiator 'new' doesn't accept public in base64 format
Solution: Tendermint stores all keys in base64 format so it would suitable to
abandon base58 encoding in favour of base64 encoding
* Problem: Not test for invalid execution of upsert-validator 'new'
Solution: Write tests to when invalid power or private key path has been supplied
* Problem: Exceptions are not informational when executing upsert-validator
Solution: generate error logs or print statement indicating success
* Problem: `run_upsert_validator_approve` was getting the voting power in a convoluted way
Solution: Changed it to get the voting power from the election outputs
* Problem: `run_upsert_validator_approve` casts votes for *all* voters, not just the user calling the command
Solution: Filter vote txs by the users public key
* Problem: Docs needed a more specific description of how to input the path to the private-key file
Solution: Changed the wording a bit
* Problem: Source files contain no license info
Solution: Add comments with SPDX license info to source files
* Python 3 files don't need # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
* Problem: Need a method to initiate a new upsert-validator election
Solution: Added subcommand `new` to `upsert_validator`
* Problem: Changes to upsert-validator needed to be reflected in the docs
Solution: Wrote a section for `upsert-validator new`
* Problem: Docs for BEP#3 implementation not updated
Solutions: Update docs for #2070 and #2106
* Problem: 'Validator update' docs language not clear
Solution: Re-write the documentation which explains when validators are updated
* Problem: Typos and BEP reference missing
Solution: Fix typos and add BEP reference
* Document changes in the configure command.
Document new add/remove replicas commands.
* updated quickstart with mongodb instructions
* Docs on how to setup mongodb dev node with and without docker.
Update replSet option in docker-compose
* Fixed typo.
More explicit on how to run the tests.
* Fixed typo in mongodb docker instructions.
More explicit about requiring mongodb 3.4+
