* Protobuf Modernization
Remove direct usage of golang/protobuf in favor of google.golang.org/protobuf
Marshallers (protobuf and json) needed some changes to account for different APIs.
Moved to using the google.golang.org/protobuf/types/known/* for the well known types including replacing some custom Struct manipulation with whats available in the structpb well known type package.
This also updates our devtools script to install protoc-gen-go from the right location so that files it generates conform to the correct interfaces.
* Fix go-mod-tidy make target to work on all modules
Adds automation for generating the map of `gRPC Method Name → Rate Limit Type`
used by the middleware introduced in #15550, and will ensure we don't forget
to add new endpoints.
Engineers must annotate their RPCs in the proto file like so:
```
rpc Foo(FooRequest) returns (FooResponse) {
option (consul.internal.ratelimit.spec) = {
operation_type: READ,
};
}
```
When they run `make proto` a protoc plugin `protoc-gen-consul-rate-limit` will
be installed that writes rate-limit specs as a JSON array to a file called
`.ratelimit.tmp` (one per protobuf package/directory).
After running Buf, `make proto` will execute a post-process script that will
ingest all of the `.ratelimit.tmp` files and generate a Go file containing the
mappings in the `agent/grpc-middleware` package. In the enterprise repository,
it will write an additional file with the enterprise-only endpoints.
If an engineer forgets to add the annotation to a new RPC, the plugin will
return an error like so:
```
RPC Foo is missing rate-limit specification, fix it with:
import "proto-public/annotations/ratelimit/ratelimit.proto";
service Bar {
rpc Foo(...) returns (...) {
option (hashicorp.consul.internal.ratelimit.spec) = {
operation_type: OPERATION_READ | OPERATION_WRITE | OPERATION_EXEMPT,
};
}
}
```
In the future, this annotation can be extended to support rate-limit
category (e.g. KV vs Catalog) and to determine the retry policy.
Replaces the reflection-based implementation of proxycfg's
ConfigSnapshot.Clone with code generated by deep-copy.
While load testing server-based xDS (for consul-dataplane) we discovered
this method is extremely expensive. The ConfigSnapshot struct, directly
or indirectly, contains a copy of many of the structs in the agent/structs
package, which creates a large graph for copystructure.Copy to traverse
at runtime, on every proxy reconfiguration.
I had protoc-gen-go installed through `google.golang.org/protobuf` instead of
`github.com/golang/protobuf` and `make proto` was failing silently.
This change will ensure you get an error:
```
protoc-gen-go is already installed by module "google.golang.org/protobuf" but
should be installed by module "github.com/golang/protobuf".
Delete it and re-run to re-install.
```
Replace bindata packages with stdlib go:embed.
Modernize some uiserver code with newer interfaces introduced in go 1.16 (mainly working with fs.File instead of http.File.
Remove steps that are no longer used from our build files.
Add Github Action to detect differences in agent/uiserver/dist and verify that the files are correct (by compiling UI assets and comparing contents).
I noticed that the JSON api endpoints for peerings json encodes protobufs directly, rather than converting them into their `api` package equivalents before marshal/unmarshaling them.
I updated this and used `mog` to do the annoying part in the middle.
Other changes:
- the status enum was converted into the friendlier string form of the enum for readability with tools like `curl`
- some of the `api` library functions were slightly modified to match other similar endpoints in UX (cc: @ndhanushkodi )
- peeringRead returns `nil` if not found
- partitions are NOT inferred from the agent's partition (matching 1.11-style logic)
