Tendermint version: v0.34.14

What happened:

  • LightClient proxy is started
  • An ABCI query request is sent via light client proxy with the default height (0) which means to query against the latest state
  • Light client successfully receives the response, and tries to update itself for the next height (H+1)
  • A block with H+1 is not created yet, and light client fails with height requested is too high error

What you expected to happen:
Probably one of the following should happen (be configurable):

  • Option1: light client waits until the new block (H+1) is committed
  • Option2: if query against the latest state needs to be done, perform query against latestHeight-1 instead (need to calculate lateststate-1 properly to make sure that we don't get an outdated request if latest state is taken from a malicious primary node)

It looks like Option2 is used for block_results request (BlockResults in https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/light/rpc/client.go)
