This migrates everything except the `go-car` librairy: https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/issues/218#issuecomment-1529922103
I didn't migrated everything in the previous release because all the boxo code wasn't compatible with the go-ipld-prime one due to a an in flight (/ aftermath) revert of github.com/ipfs/go-block-format. go-block-format has been unmigrated since slight bellow absolutely everything depends on it that would have required everything to be moved on boxo or everything to optin into using boxo which were all deal breakers for different groups.
This worked fine because lotus's codebase could live hapely on the first multirepo setup however boost is now trying to use boxo's code with lotus's (still on multirepo) setup: https://filecoinproject.slack.com/archives/C03AQ3QAUG1/p1685022344779649
The alternative would be for boost to write shim types which just forward calls and return with the different interface definitions.
Btw why is that an issue in the first place is because unlike what go's duck typing model suggest interfaces are not transparent https://github.com/golang/go/issues/58112, interfaces are strongly typed but they have implicit narrowing. The issue is if you return an interface from an interface Go does not have a function definition to insert the implicit conversion thus instead the type checker complains you are not returning the right type.
Stubbing types were reverted https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/issues/218#issuecomment-1478650351
Last time I only migrated `go-bitswap` to `boxo/bitswap` because of the security issues and because we never had the interface return an interface problem (we had concrete wrappers where the implicit conversion took place).
- Event keys are now t1, t2, t3, t4 for topics; and d for data.
- ref-fvm no longer stores events in the blockstore for us. It just
returns events to the client, who is now responsible for handling
them as it wishes / according to its configuration.
- Add a flag to VMOpts to have the events AMT be written in the blockstore.
- Add a flag to the ChainStore to advertise to the rest of the system
if the ChainStore is storing events.
- Enable that flag if the EthRPC is enabled (can also add an explicit
configuration flag if wanted).
1. Include the builtin-actors in the lotus source tree.
2. Embed the bundle on build instead of downloading at runtime.
3. Avoid reading the bundle whenever possible by including bundle
metadata (the bundle CID, the actor CIDs, etc.).
4. Remove everything related to dependency injection.
1. We're no longer downloading the bundle, so doing anything ahead
of time doesn't really help.
2. We register the manifests on init because, unfortunately, they're
global.
3. We explicitly load the current actors bundle in the genesis
state-tree method.
4. For testing, we just change the in-use bundle with a bit of a
hack. It's not great, but using dependency injection doesn't make
any sense either because, again, the manifest information is
global.
5. Remove the bundle.toml file. Bundles may be overridden by
specifying an override path in the parameters file, or an
environment variable.
fixes#8701
This paves the way for better object lifetime management.
Concretely, it makes it possible to:
- have different stores backing chain and state data.
- having the same datastore library, but using different parameters.
- attach different caching layers/policies to each class of data, e.g.
sizing caches differently.
- specifying different retention policies for chain and state data.
This separation is important because:
- access patterns/frequency of chain and state data are different.
- state is derivable from chain, so one could never expunge the chain
store, and only retain state objects reachable from the last finality
in the state store.
Motivation:
* Run lotus with the race detector enabled (primary motivation).
* Allow multiple lotus nodes in a process (not a high priority).
Previously, the journal was shared between all lotus instances, but it was
initialized for every new node. This caused safety problems in tests (at a
minimum).
This patch explicitly passes the journal to all services that need it.
