// EpochQuery defines the different ways to query for epoch information
// given a Snapshot. It only exists to simplify the main Snapshot interface.
type EpochQuery interface {

	// Current returns the current epoch as of this snapshot. All valid snapshots
	// have a current epoch.
	Current() Epoch

	// Next returns the next epoch as of this snapshot. Valid snapshots must
	// have a next epoch available after the transition to epoch setup phase.
	Next() Epoch

	// Previous returns the previous epoch as of this snapshot. Valid snapshots
	// must have a previous epoch for all epochs except that immediately after
	// the root block - in other words, if a previous epoch exists, implementations
	// must arrange to expose it here.
	//
	// Returns ErrNoPreviousEpoch in the case that this method is queried w.r.t.
	// a snapshot from the first epoch after the root block.

}

// Epoch contains the information specific to a certain Epoch (defined
// by the epoch Counter). Note that the Epoch preparation can differ along
// different forks, since the emission of service events is fork-dependent.
// Therefore, an epoch exists RELATIVE to the snapshot from which it was
// queried.
//
// CAUTION: Clients must ensure to query epochs only for finalized blocks to
// ensure they query finalized epoch information.
//
// An Epoch instance is constant and reports the identical information
// even if progress is made later and more information becomes available in
// subsequent blocks.
//
// Methods error if epoch preparation has not progressed far enough for
// this information to be determined by a finalized block.
//
// TODO Epoch / Snapshot API Structure:  Currently Epoch and Snapshot APIs
// are structured to allow chained queries to be used without error checking
// at each call where errors might occur. Instead, errors are cached in the
// resulting struct (eg. invalid.Epoch) until the query chain ends with a
// function which can return an error. This has some negative effects:
//  1. Cached intermediary errors result in more complex error handling
//     a) each final call of the chained query needs to handle all intermediary errors, every time
//     b) intermediary errors must be handled by dependencies on the final call of the query chain (eg. conversion functions)
//  2. The error caching pattern encourages potentially dangerous snapshot query patterns
//
// See https://github.com/dapperlabs/flow-go/issues/6368 for details and proposal
