Comment(by atagar):
I would be interested in discussing this with you during the winter
developer meeting. One thing that I'd like (and maybe it's tangential to
this) is a library I can run locally that provides a facade with
equivalents to the GETINFO ns/*, desc/*, and microdescriptor options (the
last pending ticket 3832). This library could then read from the control
port, cached-* files, or the metrics service.
At present we tell scripts that just need consensus information to run a
tor client with 'FetchDirInfoEarly' which does the trick, but it seems
like we can come up with a better and lighter weight alternative to
subscribe for getting the latest consensus.
This would be a start of the metrics service API, with obvious next steps
being to fetch historical consensus data or aggregated statistics.
Cheers! -Damian
