Required also converting some of the transaction functions to WriteTxn
because TxnRO() called the same helper as TxnRW.
This change allows us to return a memdb.Txn for read-only txn instead of
wrapping them with state.txn.
The nodeCheck slice was being used as the first arg in append, which in some cases will modify the array backing the slice. This would lead to service checks for other services in the wrong event.
Also refactor some things to reduce the arguments to functions.
Creating a new readTxn does not work because it will not see the newly created objects that are about to be committed. Instead use the active write Txn.
We add a WriteTxn interface for use in updating the usage memdb table,
with the forward-looking prospect of incrementally converting other
functions to accept interfaces.
As well, we use the ReadTxn in new usage code, and as a side effect
convert a couple of existing functions to use that interface as well.
Move the subscription context to Next. context.Context should generally
never be stored in a struct because it makes that struct only valid
while the context is valid. This is rarely obvious from the caller.
Adds a forceClosed channel in place of the old context, and uses the new
context as a way for the caller to stop the Subscription blocking.
Remove some recursion out of bufferImte.Next. The caller is already looping so we can continue
in that loop instead of recursing. This ensures currentItem is updated immediately (which probably
does not matter in practice), and also removes the chance that we overflow the stack.
NextNoBlock and FollowAfter do not need to handle bufferItem.Err, the caller already
handles it.
Moves filter to a method to simplify Next, and more explicitly separate filtering from looping.
Also improve some godoc
Only unwrap itemBuffer.Err when necessary
EventPublisher was receiving TopicHandlers, which had a couple of
problems:
- ChangeProcessors were being grouped by Topic, but they completely
ignored the topic and were performed on every change
- ChangeProcessors required EventPublisher to be aware of database
changes
By moving ChangeProcesors out of EventPublisher, and having Publish
accept events instead of changes, EventPublisher no longer needs to
be aware of these things.
Handlers is now only SnapshotHandlers, which are still mapped by Topic.
Also allows us to remove the small 'db' package that had only two types.
They can now be unexported types in state.
The EventPublisher is the central hub of the PubSub system. It is toughly coupled with much of
stream. Some stream internals were exported exclusively for EventPublisher.
The two Subscribe cases (with or without index) were also awkwardly split between two packages. By
moving EventPublisher into stream they are now both in the same package (although still in different files).
Also store the index in Changes instead of the Txn.
This change is in preparation for movinng EventPublisher to the stream package, and
making handleACLUpdates async once again.
