Given that every pin and block/put writes something to IPFS and thus increases
the repo size, a while ago we added a check to let the IPFS connector directly
trigger the sending of metrics every 10 of such requests. This was meant to
update the metrics more often so that balancing happened more granularly
(particularly the freespace one).
In practice, on a cluster that receives several hundreds of pin/adds
operations in a few seconds, this is just bad.
So:
* We disable by default the whole thing.
* We add a new InformerTriggerInterval configuration option to enable the thing.
* Fix a bug that made this always call the first informer, which may not
have been the freespace one).
- cluster method, ipfs connector method, rpc and rest apis,
command, etc for repo gc
- Remove extra space from policy generator
- Added special timeout for `/repo/gc` call to IPFS
- Added `RepoGCLocal` cluster rpc method, which will be used to run gc
on local IPFS daemon
- Added peer name to the repo gc struct
- Sorted with peer ids, while formatting(only affects cli
results)
- Special timeout setting where timeout gets checked from last update
- Added `local` argument, which would run gc only on contacted peer
ipfshttp: cancel POST request when timeout reached
ipfshttp/config: fix config test
ipfshttp: use struct styling for multi-line func calls
ipfshttp/config: add general ClientTimeout

This fixes#326. It adds a new `pin_method` configuration option to the
`ipfshttp` component allows to configure it to perform `refs -r <cid>` before
the `pin/add` call. By fetching content before pinning, we don't have
a global lock in place, and we can have several pin-requests to
ipfs in parallel.
It also adds a `concurrent_pins` option to the pin tracker, which
launches more pin workers so it can potentially trigger more pins at
the same time. This is a minimal intervention in the pintracker as #308
is still pending.
Documentation for the configuration file has been updated.
