This commit fixes#810 and adds block streaming to the final destinations when
adding. This should add major performance gains when adding data to clusters.
Before, everytime cluster issued a block, it was broadcasted individually to
all destinations (new libp2p stream), where it was block/put to IPFS (a single
block/put http roundtrip per block).
Now, blocks are streamed all the way from the adder module to the ipfs daemon,
by making every block as it arrives a single part in a multipart block/put
request.
Before, block-broadcast needed to wait for all destinations to finish in order
to process the next block. Now, buffers allow some destinations to be faster
than others while sending and receiving blocks.
Before, if a block put request failed to be broadcasted everywhere, an error
would happen at that moment.
Now, we keep streaming until the end and only then report any errors. The
operation succeeds as long as at least one stream finished successfully.
Errors block/putting to IPFS will not abort streams. Instead, subsequent
blocks are retried with a new request, although the method will return an
error when the stream finishes if there were errors at any point.
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
Currently we were only specifying the block format. When adding with
a custom hash function, even though we produced the right cids, IPFS
did not know the hash function and ended up storing them using SHA256.
Additionally, since NodeWithMeta serializes the CID, we do not need
to carry a Format parameter (which specifies the Codec): it is already
embedded.
Tests have been added and BlockPut in ipfshttp now checks that the
response's CID matches the data sent. This will catch errors like
what was happening, but also any data corruption between cluster and
IPFS during the block upload.
* Improve pin/unpin method signatures:
These changes the following Cluster Go API methods:
* -> Cluster.Pin(ctx, cid, options) (pin, error)
* -> Cluster.Unpin(ctx, cid) (pin, error)
* -> Cluster.PinPath(ctx, path, opts) (pin,error)
Pin and Unpin now return the pinned object.
The signature of the methods now matches that of the API Client, is clearer as
to what options the user can set and is aligned with PinPath, UnpinPath, which
returned pin methods.
The REST API now returns the Pinned/Unpinned object rather than 204-Accepted.
This was necessary for a cleaner pin/update approach, which I'm working on in
another branch.
Most of the changes here are updating tests to the new signatures
* Adapt load-balancing client to new Pin/Unpin signatures

I had thought of this for a very long time but there were no compelling
reasons to do it. Specifying RPC endpoint permissions becomes however
significantly nicer if each Component is a different RPC Service. This also
fixes some naming issues like having to prefix methods with the component name
to separate them from methods named in the same way in some other component
(Pin and IPFSPin).
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.

This removes a bunch of the channel dance and block forwarding
by having the adder submodules be DAGServices themselves and take
Add() directly from the ipfsAdder.
