Do not use scatter-gather to query the lattice state #98
Open
Description
From the roadmap wiki:
Re-evaluate the use of scatter-gather queries to obtain information about a lattice. The larger a lattice and the more infrastructure boundaries are crossed, the longer these queries will take, and the more likely a vinculum process will have incorrect information and make mistakes in attempting to resolve state gaps. Possibilities here include gossip protocols or distributed caches in lieu of the ad hoc queries.
While the the majority of the functionality of this will be in the lattice client library, this is ultimately an enhancement to the wascc host because it queries for providers and actors in response to lattice control imperatives. We can't have a working #66 (Vinculum) until we can have a better way of interrogating the lattice state for consumers that have not been on the receiving end of an event stream.
