#30782: Cache outdated fetched descriptors on directory authorities
------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Reporter: teor | Owner: teor
Type: defect | Status: assigned
Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.4.2.x-final
Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: unspecified
Severity: Normal | Keywords: easy, intro, tor-dirauth

------------------------------+--------------------------------------
When tor starts fetching a descriptor due to a consensus, then replaces
its consensus before the descriptor arrives, the descriptor is
unrecognised.
Directory caches keep the descriptor in the old descriptor cache, but
clients and authorities drop it.
But I think authorities should keep the descriptor, in case it is used in
a future vote or consensus.
This is a bug on tor 0.1.1.13-alpha.
