This commit introduces an api.Cid type and replaces the usage of cid.Cid
everywhere.
The main motivation here is to override MarshalJSON so that Cids are
JSON-ified as '"Qm...."' instead of '{ "/": "Qm....." }', as this "ipld"
representation of IDs is horrible to work with, and our APIs are not issuing
IPLD objects to start with.
Unfortunately, there is no way to do this cleanly, and the best way is to just
switch everything to our own type.
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.
Fixes#1554
Fixes: peer names unset for remote peers
This adds an IPFS field to pin status information (PinInfoShort).
It has not been easy to add this, given that the IPFS ID is something that
comes from outside of cluster (unlike the peer name). After several tries I
have settled in the following things:
- Use the ping metric to send out peer names and IPFS IDs to the peers in the
cluster.
- Cache the latest known IPFS ID (if IPFS dies we should still be setting
the ID).
- Provide an RPC method for the Pintracker to obtain IPFS ID from the cache.
- Given we now know information for peernames and IPFS IDs from other peers,
we can use that information even if the requests to them error or we are not
contacting (i.e. peers allocated as remote are not queried for status). We can
use the information from the last received ping metric.
- This means we should keep metrics around even if peers go away, at least for
a while rather than deleting them as soon as we detect that they have expired.
Puting it all together we now have a system to gossip peer information around on top
of the ping metrics.
The pin objects now include an Origin field which was set to
multiaddr.Multiaddr.
This type is an interface and has no idea how to deserialize itself. As a
result, an state json export cannot be deseralized.
We had already added a wrapper Multiaddr type to handle these issues. I
believe this fix does not affect anything else other than fixing
UnmarshalJSON. PB types are deserialized by hand and it should not make a
difference.
This adds a new PinOption: ExpireAt.
The StateSync ticker will check and unpin expired pins from the Cluster.
ipfs-cluster-ctl supports an "expire-in" which gives a duration.
This was a leftover. For consisency, all CIDs coming out of the API
should have the canonical cid form ( { "/": "cid" } ), otherwise
we are inconsistent.
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 starts handling Metadata and UserAllocations in the PinOptions
object. The Pin protobuf has been modified to embed a PinOptions message which
is defined separately.
Query arguments for the Metadata map are declared by their "meta-" prefix:
"?meta-something=something&meta-something-else-b".
Additional tests have been added, along with an Equals() method for
PinOptions.

Since the beginning, we have used a Go map to store the shared state (pinset)
in memory. The mapstate knew how to serialize itself so that libp2p-raft would
know how to write to disk when it:
* Saved snapshots of the state on shutdown
* Sent the state to a newcomer peer
hashicorp.Raft assumes an in-memory state which is snapshotted from time to
time and read from disk on boot.
This commit adds a `dsstate` implementation of the state interface using
`go-datastore`. This allows to effortlessly switch to a disk-backed state in
the future (as we will need), and also have at our disposal the different
implementations and utilities of Datastore for fine-tuning (caching, batching
etc.).
`mapstate` has been reworked to use dsstate. Ideally, we would not even need
`mapstate`, as it would suffice to initialize `dsstate` with a
`MapDatastore`. BUT, we still need it separate to be able to auto-migrate to
the new format.
This will be the last migration with the current system. Once this has been
released and users have been able to upgrade we will just remove `mapstate` as
it is now.

GetTTL returns duration. SetTTL should take duration too, not seconds.
This removes the original SetTTL method which used seconds.

This PR replaces ReplicationFactor with ReplicationFactorMax
and ReplicationFactor min.
This allows a CID to be pinned even though the desired
replication factor (max) is not reached, and prevents triggering
re-pinnings when the replication factor has not crossed the
lower threshold (min).

The multiaddresses protocols for websockets and dns are only registered
with init() function when loading the modules. ipfs-cluster-ctl
uses just the api, which did not load these modules so converting
from serialized types caused bad panics.
We have also ignored errors in the api library under the thinking that it
would only parse things serialized by us, but this has made parsing errors
to go unnoticed. From now, all errors are logged and some precautions
are taking to better handle the possibility of nil objects.

This adds a replication_factor query argument to the API

CidArg used to be an internal name for an argument that carried a Cid.
Now it has surfaced to API level and makes no sense. It is a Pin. It
represents a Pin (Cid, Allocations, Replication Factor)

New PeerManager, Allocator, Informer components have been added along
with a new "replication_factor" configuration option.
First, cluster peers collect and push metrics (Informer) to the Cluster
leader regularly. The Informer is an interface that can be implemented
in custom wayts to support custom metrics.
Second, on a pin operation, using the information from the collected metrics,
an Allocator can provide a list of preferences as to where the new pin
should be assigned. The Allocator is an interface allowing to provide
different allocation strategies.
Both Allocator and Informer are Cluster Componenets, and have access
to the RPC API.
The allocations are kept in the shared state. Cluster peer failure
detection is still missing and re-allocation is still missing, although
re-pinning something when a node is down/metrics missing does re-allocate
the pin somewhere else.
