Expand description

The source of data items that consensus should order.

AlephBFT internally calls DataProvider::get_data whenever a new unit is created and data needs to be placed inside.

We refer to the documentation https://cardinal-cryptography.github.io/AlephBFT/aleph_bft_api.html for a discussion and examples of how this trait can be implemented.
