Record Validator

Record validators are a generic mechanism for checking the DHT records, including:

• Enforcing a data schema (e.g., checking content types)

• Enforcing security requirements (e.g., allowing only the owner to update the record)

• Enforcement using predicates/callables for customizable logic on the DHTRecord (e.g., checking keys match allowable keys, checking expiration dates, etc.)

Record validators are middleware between GET and POST/PUT requests between peers for storing data in the subnet.

When starting the DHT, it can be initialized with an Iterable of the RecordValidatorBase and will validate in order of priority (see How To Use).
