feat(connector-besu): request param: wait for ledger tx receipt #685
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Adds new parameters to the run transaction endpoint's request object
that allow the caller to specify a the consistency strategy
parameters that can define if the connector should wait for either:
1. the transaction to be confirmed only by the node's transaction pool
2. if at least the block containing the transaction should be mined
by the ledger
3. an N number of additional blocks should be confirmed by the ledger
in **addition** to the block that contained the transaction.

The parameters also allow to specify a timeout in milliseconds that
if unspecified defaults to the maximum safe integer that Javascript
can represent which for practical purposes we consider to be the
same as waiting until the heat death of the universe or infinity.

Fixes #685
