This commit introduces the new go-libp2p-gorpc streaming capabilities for
Cluster. The main aim is to work towards heavily reducing memory usage when
working with very large pinsets.
As a side-effect, it takes the chance to revampt all types for all public
methods so that pointers to static what should be static objects are not used
anymore. This should heavily reduce heap allocations and GC activity.
The main change is that state.List now returns a channel from which to read
the pins, rather than pins being all loaded into a huge slice.
Things reading pins have been all updated to iterate on the channel rather
than on the slice. The full pinset is no longer fully loaded onto memory for
things that run regularly like StateSync().
Additionally, the /allocations endpoint of the rest API no longer returns an
array of pins, but rather streams json-encoded pin objects directly. This
change has extended to the restapi client (which puts pins into a channel as
they arrive) and to ipfs-cluster-ctl.
There are still pending improvements like StatusAll() calls which should also
stream responses, and specially BlockPut calls which should stream blocks
directly into IPFS on a single call.
These are coming up in future commits.
* Libp2p protectors no longer needed, use PSK directly
* Generate cluster 32-byte secret here (helper gone from pnet)
* Switch to go-log/v2 in all places
* DHT bootstrapping not needed. Adjust DHT options for tests.
* Do not rely on dissappeared CidToDsKey and DsKeyToCid functions fro dshelp.
* Disable QUIC (does not support private networks)
* Fix tests: autodiscovery started working properly
This takes advantange of the latest features in go-cid, peer.ID and
go-multiaddr and makes the Go types serializable by default.
This means we no longer need to copy between Pin <-> PinSerial, or ID <->
IDSerial etc. We can now efficiently binary-encode these types using short
field keys and without parsing/stringifying (in many cases it just a cast).
We still get the same json output as before (with minor modifications for
Cids).
This should greatly improve Cluster performance and memory usage when dealing
with large collections of items.
