feat: implement weighted RPC load balancing with comprehensive improvements
This commit introduces a complete weighted load balancing system for RPC endpoints
with traffic distribution based on configurable provider weights (0.0-1.0).
## Core Features
### Weighted Load Balancing Algorithm
- Implements probabilistic selection using WeightedIndex from rand crate
- Supports decimal weights (0.0-1.0) for precise traffic distribution
- Weights are relative and don't need to sum to 1.0 (normalized internally)
- Graceful fallback to random selection if weights are invalid
### Enhanced Error Handling & Resilience
- Improved error retesting logic that preserves weight distribution
- Error retesting now occurs AFTER weight-based selection to minimize skew
- Maintains existing failover capabilities while respecting configured weights
- Robust handling of edge cases (all zero weights, invalid configurations)
### Configuration & Validation
- Added `weighted_rpc_steering` flag to enable/disable weighted selection
- Provider weight validation ensures values are between 0.0 and 1.0
- Validation prevents all-zero weight configurations
- Comprehensive configuration documentation with usage examples
## Implementation Details
### Network Layer Changes (chain/ethereum/src/network.rs)
- Refactored adapter selection into modular, well-documented functions:
- `select_best_adapter()`: Chooses between weighted/random strategies
- `select_weighted_adapter()`: Implements WeightedIndex-based selection
- `select_random_adapter()`: Enhanced random selection with error consideration
- Added comprehensive inline documentation explaining algorithms
- Maintains thread safety with proper Arc usage and thread-safe RNG
- Added test coverage for weighted selection with statistical validation
### Configuration System (node/src/config.rs)
- Extended Provider struct with f64 weight field (default: 1.0)
- Added weight validation in Provider::validate() method
- Added Chain-level validation to prevent all-zero weight configurations
- Integrated with existing configuration validation pipeline
### CLI & Setup Integration
- Added --weighted-rpc-steering command line flag (node/src/opt.rs)
- Integrated weighted flag through network setup pipeline (node/src/network_setup.rs)
- Updated chain configuration to pass weight values to adapters (node/src/chain.rs)
### Documentation & Examples
- Added comprehensive configuration documentation in full_config.toml
- Includes weight range explanation, distribution examples, and usage guidelines
- Clear examples showing relative weight calculations and traffic distribution
## Technical Improvements
### Dependency Management
- Updated rand dependency to use appropriate version with WeightedIndex support
- Proper import paths for rand 0.9 distribution modules
- Fixed compilation issues with correct trait imports (Distribution)
### Code Quality & Maintenance
- Comprehensive inline documentation for all weight-related methods
- Clear separation of concerns with single-responsibility functions
- Maintained backward compatibility with existing random selection
- Added statistical test validation for weight distribution accuracy
## Validation & Testing
- Comprehensive test suite validates weight distribution over 1000 iterations
- Statistical validation with 10% tolerance for weight accuracy
- All existing tests continue to pass, ensuring no regression
- Build verification across all affected packages
## Configuration Example
```toml
weighted_rpc_steering = true
[chains.mainnet]
provider = [
{ label = "primary", url = "http://rpc1.io", weight = 0.7 }, # 70% traffic
{ label = "backup", url = "http://rpc2.io", weight = 0.3 }, # 30% traffic
]
```
This implementation provides production-ready weighted load balancing with
robust error handling, comprehensive validation, and excellent maintainability.
