Muawia Khan bd39076522 Problem: Users trying to use an incompatible version of Tendermint (#2541)
-  Hard-wire the supported Tendermint version(s) right in the code of BigchainDB Server. Check the version of Tendermint and disconnect if Tendermint version is an unsupported one.
- Expose a CLI command bigchaindb tendermint-version to display the supported Tendermint versions.
- PR also takes care the long list of warnings we get when we run tests.
    - Updated deprecated pymongo methods
    - Do not call pytest fixtures directly.
    - Also added the doc for the new cli command

Overview

A high-level description of the files and subdirectories of BigchainDB.

Files

lib.py

The BigchainDB class is defined here. Most node-level operations and database interactions are found in this file. This is the place to start if you are interested in implementing a server API, since many of these class methods concern BigchainDB interacting with the outside world.

models.py

Block, Transaction, and Asset classes are defined here. The classes mirror the block and transaction structure from the documentation, but also include methods for validation and signing.

consensus.py

Base class for consensus methods (verification of votes, blocks, and transactions). The actual logic is mostly found in transaction and block models, defined in models.py.

processes.py

Entry point for the BigchainDB process, after initialization. All subprocesses are started here: processes to handle new blocks, votes, etc.

config_utils.py

Methods for managing the configuration, including loading configuration files, automatically generating the configuration, and keeping the configuration consistent across BigchainDB instances.

Folders

commands

Contains code for the CLI for BigchainDB.

db

Code for building the database connection, creating indexes, and other database setup tasks.
