This commit makes all the changes to make Peers() a streaming call.
While Peers is usually a non problematic call, for consistency, all calls
returning collections assembled through broadcast to cluster peers are now
streaming calls.
This commit continues the work of taking advantage of the streaming
capabilities in go-libp2p-gorpc by improving the ipfsconnector and pintracker
components.
StatusAll and RecoverAll methods are now streaming methods, with the REST API
output changing accordingly to produce a stream of GlobalPinInfos rather than
a json array.
pin/ls request to the ipfs daemon now use ?stream=true and avoid having to
load the full pinset map on memory. StatusAllLocal and RecoverAllLocal
requests to the pin tracker stream all the way and no longer store the full
pinset, and the full PinInfo status slice before sending it out.
We have additionally switched to a pattern where streaming methods receive the
channel as an argument, allowing the caller to decide on whether to launch a
goroutine, do buffering etc.
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.
We call RecoverAll regularly and I noticed it was way slower than it should be.
After all, it should just loop the pinset and enqueued items that are
unexpectedly unpinned or in pin error.
However, at some point we decided that RecoverAll would return information for
all pins, regardless of whether they were recovered or not. This ends up
resulting in a separate Status call for every pin that is already pinned, and
this call hits IPFS. This is pretty bad with big pinsets.
This commit fixes that, we return no state information for pins that are not
touched.
The new "metrics" allocator is about to partition metrics and distribe
allocations among the partitions.
For example: given a region, an availability zone and free space on disk, the
allocator would be able to choose allocations by distributing among regions
and availability zones as much as possible, and for those peers in the same
region/az, selecting those with most free space first.
This requires a major overhaul of the allocator component.
This commit modifies the pintracker StatusAll call to take a status filter.
This allows to skip a PinLs call to ipfs when checking status for items that
are queued, pinning, unpinning or in error. Those status come directly from
the operation tracker. This should result in a significant performance
increase for those calls, particularly in nodes with several hundred thousand
pins and more, where the call to IPFS is very expensive.
A new TrackerStatusUnexpectedlyUnpinned status has been introduce to
differentiate between pin errors (tracked by the operation tracker) and "lost"
items (which before were pin errors too). This new status is handled by the
Recover() operation as before.
GlobalPinInfo objects carried redundant information (Cid, Peer) that takes
space and time to serialize.
This has been addressed by having GlobalPinInfo embed PinInfoShort rather than
PinInfo. This new types ommits redundant fields.
Add necessary validators.
There is currently no way to run a dynamic-mode DHT that supports
LAN-based peers. Therefore for the time-being we are setting the
dht.Mode to "server".
* 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
* add ipv6 listening addresses to the default config
* ipfsproxy: support multiple listeners. Add default ipv6.
* mm
* restapi: support multiple listen addresses. enable ipv6
* cluster_config: format default listen addresses
* commands: update for multiple listeners. Fix randomports for udp and ipv6.
* ipfs-cluster-service: fix randomports test
* multiple listeners: fix remaining tests
* golint
* Disable ipv6 in defaults
It is not supported by docker by default. It is not supported in travis-CI
build environments. User can enable it now manually.
* proxy: disable ipv6 in test
* ipfshttp: fix test

This removes mappintracker and sets stateless tracker as the default (and only) pintracker component.
Because the stateless tracker matches the cluster state with only ongoing operations being kept on memory, and additional information provided by ipfs-pin-ls, syncing operations are not necessary. Therefore the Sync/SyncAll operations are removed cluster-wide.
This introduces the possiblity of running Cluster with multiple informer components. The first one in the list is the used for "allocations". This is just groundwork for working with several informers in the future.
- Cluster peers will now be able dial and listen using QUIC
- By default QUIC is enabled, to disable it remove QUIC listen address
from service.json
- This commit also adds a config option for whether to act as relay or
not, EnableRelayHop
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.
- 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
* pin() should not allocate if allocations are already provided
* pin() should not skip pinning if the exact same pin exists
* Additionally this was unreliable as it allocated it before
so the pin may have existed but the allocations may have been
artificially changed.
* pin() re-uses existing pin when pin options are the same and thus
avoids changing the allocations of a pin.
As a side effect, this fixes re-allocations which were broken: peers
called `shouldPeerRepinCid()` and instead of repinning that single
cid proceeded to repin the full state. For every pin.
Additionally tests have been adapted. It may be that some re-alloc tests
were very unreliable for the problems above.
