// Walker provides methods to move through a DAG of nodes that implement
// the `NavigableNode` interface. It uses iterative algorithms (instead
// of recursive ones) that expose the `path` of nodes from the root to
// the `ActiveNode` it currently points to.
//
// It provides multiple ways to walk through the DAG (e.g. `Iterate`
// and `Seek`). When using them, you provide a Visitor function that
// will be called for each node the Walker traverses. The Visitor can
// read data from those nodes and, optionally, direct the movement of
// the Walker by calling `Pause` (to stop traversing and return) or
// `NextChild` (to skip a child and its descendants). See the DAG reader
// in `github.com/ipfs/go-unixfs/io/dagreader.go` for a usage example.
// TODO: This example isn't merged yet.
type Walker struct {

	// Sequence of nodes in the DAG from the root to the `ActiveNode`, each
	// position in the slice being the parent of the next one. The `ActiveNode`
	// resides in the position indexed by `currentDepth` (the slice may contain
	// more elements past that point but they should be ignored since the slice
	// is not truncated to leverage the already allocated space).
	//
	// Every time `down` is called the `currentDepth` increases and the child
	// of the `ActiveNode` is inserted after it (effectively becoming the new
	// `ActiveNode`).
	//
	// The slice must *always* have a length bigger than zero with the root
	// of the DAG at the first position (empty DAGs are not valid).
	path []NavigableNode

	// Depth of the `ActiveNode`. It grows downwards, root being 0, its child 1,
	// and so on. It controls the effective length of `path` and `childIndex`.
	//
	// A currentDepth of -1 signals the start case of a new `Walker` that hasn't
	// moved yet. Although this state is an invalid index to the slices, it
	// allows to centralize all the visit calls in the `down` move (starting at
	// zero would require a special visit case inside every walk operation like
	// `Iterate()` and `Seek`). This value should never be returned to after
	// the first `down` movement, moving up from the root should always return
	// `errUpOnRoot`.
	currentDepth int

	// This slice has the index of the child each node in `path` is pointing
	// to. The child index in the node can be set past all of its child nodes
	// (having a value equal to `ChildTotal`) to signal it has visited (or
	// skipped) all of them. A leaf node with no children that has its index
	// in zero would also comply with this format.
	//
	// Complement to `path`, not only do we need to know which nodes have been
	// traversed to reach the `ActiveNode` but also which child nodes they are
	// to correctly have the active path of the DAG. (Reword this paragraph.)

	// distributed `NavigableNode`s (to have a centralized configuration
	// structure to control the behavior of all of them), e.g., to tell
	// the `NavigableIPLDNode` which context should be used to load node
	// promises (but this could later be used in more elaborate ways).

// `Walker` implementation details:
//
// The `Iterate` and `Seek` walk operations are implemented through two
// basic move methods `up` and `down`, that change which node is the
// `ActiveNode` (modifying the `path` that leads to it). The `NextChild`
// method allows to change which child the `ActiveNode` is pointing to
// in order to change the direction of the descent.
//
// The `down` method is the analogous of a recursive call and the one in
// charge of visiting (possible new) nodes (through `Visitor`) and performing
// some user-defined logic. A `Pause` method is available to interrupt the
// current walk operation after visiting a node.
//
// Key terms and concepts:
// * Walk operation (e.g., `Iterate`).
// * Move methods: `up` and `down`.
// * Active node.
// * Path to the active node.


// Function called each time a node is arrived upon in a walk operation
// through the `down` method (not when going back `up`). It is the main
// API to implement DAG functionality (e.g., read and seek a file DAG)
// on top of the `Walker` structure.
//
// Its argument is the current `node` being visited (the `ActiveNode`).
// Any error it returns (apart from the internal `errPauseWalkOperation`)
// will be forwarded to the caller of the walk operation (pausing it).
//
// Any of the exported methods of this API should be allowed to be called
// from within this method, e.g., `NextChild`.
// TODO: Check that. Can `ResetPosition` be called without breaking
// the `Walker` integrity?
