-Package coordinator handles all the logic related to forging batches as a
-coordinator in the hermez network.
-
-The forging of batches is done with a pipeline in order to allow multiple
-batches being forged in parallel.  The maximum number of batches that can be
-forged in parallel is determined by the number of available proof servers.
-
-The Coordinator begins with the pipeline stopped.  The main Coordinator
-goroutine keeps listening for synchronizer events sent by the node package,
-which allow the coordinator to determine if the configured forger address is
-allowed to forge at the current block or not.  When the forger address becomes
-allowed to forge, the pipeline is started, and when it terminates being allowed
-to forge, the pipeline is stopped.
-
-The Pipeline consists of two goroutines.  The first one is in charge of
-preparing a batch internally, which involves making a selection of transactions
-and calculating the ZKInputs for the batch proof, and sending these ZKInputs to
-an idle proof server.  This goroutine will keep preparing batches while there
-are idle proof servers, if the forging policy determines that a batch should be
-forged in the current state.  The second goroutine is in charge of waiting for
-the proof server to finish computing the proof, retreiving it, prepare the
-arguments for the `forgeBatch` Rollup transaction, and sending the result to
-the TxManager.  All the batch information moves between functions and
-goroutines via the BatchInfo struct.
-
-Finally, the TxManager contains a single goroutine that makes forgeBatch
-ethereum transactions for the batches sent by the Pipeline, and keeps them in a
-list to check them periodically.  In the periodic checks, the ethereum
-transaction is checked for successfulness, and it's only forgotten after a
-number of confirmation blocks have passed after being successfully mined.  At
-any point if a transaction failure is detected, the TxManager can signal the
-Coordinator to reset the Pipeline in order to reforge the failed batches.
-
-The Coordinator goroutine acts as a manager.  The synchronizer events (which
-notify about new blocks and associated new state) that it receives are
-broadcasted to the Pipeline and the TxManager.  This allows the Coordinator,
-Pipeline and TxManager to have a copy of the current hermez network state
-required to perform their duties.

-Coordinator to notify it about the new synced block (and associated state) or
-reorg (and resetted state) in case one happens.

-metrics stored in the historyDB, update recommended fee stored in the

-Package synchronizer synchronizes the hermez network state by querying events
-emitted by the three smart contracts: `Hermez.sol` (referred as Rollup here),
-`HermezAuctionProtocol.sol` (referred as Auction here) and
-`WithdrawalDelayer.sol` (referred as WDelayer here).
-
-The main entry point for synchronization is the `Sync` function, which at most
-will synchronize one ethereum block, and all the hermez events that happened in
-that block.  During a `Sync` call, a reorg can be detected; in such case, uncle
-blocks will be discarded, and only in a future `Sync` call correct blocks will
-be synced.
-
-The synchronization of the events in each smart contracts are done
-in the methods `rollupSync`, `auctionSync` and `wdelayerSync`, which in turn
-use the interface code to read each smart contract state and events found in
-"github.com/hermeznetwork/hermez-node/eth".  After these three methods are
-called, an object of type `common.BlockData` is built containing all the
-updates and events that happened in that block, and it is inserted in the
-HistoryDB in a single SQL transaction.
-
-`rollupSync` is the method that synchronizes batches sent via the `forgeBatch`
-transaction in `Hermez.sol`.  In `rollupSync`, for every batch,  the accounts
-state is updated in the StateDB by processing all transactions that have been
-forged in that batch.
-
-The consistency of the stored data is guaranteed by the HistoryDB: All the
-block information is inserted in a single SQL transaction at the end of the
-`Sync` method, once the StateDB has been updated.  And every time the
-Synchronizer starts, it continues from the last block in the HistoryDB.  The
-StateDB stores updates organized by checkpoints for every batch, and each batch
-is only accessed if it appears in the HistoryDB.
