We should not set cache-control headers on RPC responses. HTTP caching
interacts poorly with resources that are expected to change frequently, or
whose rate of change is unpredictable.
More subtly, all calls to the POST endpoint use the same URL, which means a
cacheable response from one call may actually "hide" an uncacheable response
from a subsequent one. This is less of a problem for the GET endpoints, but
that means the behaviour of RPCs varies depending on which HTTP method your
client happens to use. Websocket requests were already marked statically
uncacheable, adding yet a third combination.
To address this:
- Stop setting cache-control headers.
- Update the tests that were checking for those headers.
- Remove the flags to request cache-control.
Apart from affecting the HTTP response headers, this change does not modify the
behaviour of any of the RPC methods.
This continues the push of plumbing contexts through tendermint. I
attempted to find all goroutines in the production code (non-test) and
made sure that these threads would exit when their contexts were
canceled, and I believe this PR does that.
Rework the implementation of event query parsing and execution to
improve performance and reduce memory usage.
Previous memory and CPU profiles of the pubsub service showed query
processing as a significant hotspot. While we don't have evidence that
this is visibly hurting users, fixing it is fairly easy and self-contained.
Updates #6439.
Typical benchmark results comparing the original implementation (PEG) with the reworked implementation (Custom):
```
TEST TIME/OP BYTES/OP ALLOCS/OP SPEEDUP MEM SAVING
BenchmarkParsePEG-12 51716 ns 526832 27
BenchmarkParseCustom-12 2167 ns 4616 17 23.8x 99.1%
BenchmarkMatchPEG-12 3086 ns 1097 22
BenchmarkMatchCustom-12 294.2 ns 64 3 10.5x 94.1%
```
Components:
* Add a basic parsing benchmark.
* Move the original query implementation to a subdirectory.
* Add lexical scanner for Query expressions.
* Add a parser for Query expressions.
* Implement query compiler.
* Add test cases based on OpenAPI examples.
* Add MustCompile to replace the original MustParse, and update usage.
This is a very small change, but removes a method from the
`service.Service` interface (a win!) and forces callers to explicitly
pass loggers in to objects during construction rather than (later)
injecting them. There's not a real need for this kind of lazy
construction of loggers, and I think a decent potential for confusion
for mutable loggers.
The main concern I have is that this changes the constructor API for
ABCI clients. I think this is fine, and I suspect that as we plumb
contexts through, and make changes to the RPC services there'll be a
number of similar sorts of changes to various (quasi) public
interfaces, which I think we should welcome.
This follows the same model as we did in the p2p package.
Rework the indexer service constructor to take a struct of arguments,
that makes it easier to construct the optional settings.
Deprecate but do not remove the existing constructor.
Clean up node initialization a little bit.
This is part of the work described by #7156.
Remove "unbuffered subscriptions" from the pubsub service.
Replace them with a dedicated blocking "observer" mechanism.
Use the observer mechanism for indexing.
Add a SubscribeWithArgs method and deprecate the old Subscribe
method. Remove SubscribeUnbuffered entirely (breaking).
Rework the Subscription interface to eliminate exposed channels.
Subscriptions now use a context to manage lifecycle notifications.
Internalize the eventbus package.
