Protobuf Refactoring for Multi-Module Cleanliness
This commit includes the following:
Moves all packages that were within proto/ to proto/private
Rewrites imports to account for the packages being moved
Adds in buf.work.yaml to enable buf workspaces
Names the proto-public buf module so that we can override the Go package imports within proto/buf.yaml
Bumps the buf version dependency to 1.14.0 (I was trying out the version to see if it would get around an issue - it didn't but it also doesn't break things and it seemed best to keep up with the toolchain changes)
Why:
In the future we will need to consume other protobuf dependencies such as the Google HTTP annotations for openapi generation or grpc-gateway usage.
There were some recent changes to have our own ratelimiting annotations.
The two combined were not working when I was trying to use them together (attempting to rebase another branch)
Buf workspaces should be the solution to the problem
Buf workspaces means that each module will have generated Go code that embeds proto file names relative to the proto dir and not the top level repo root.
This resulted in proto file name conflicts in the Go global protobuf type registry.
The solution to that was to add in a private/ directory into the path within the proto/ directory.
That then required rewriting all the imports.
Is this safe?
AFAICT yes
The gRPC wire protocol doesn't seem to care about the proto file names (although the Go grpc code does tack on the proto file name as Metadata in the ServiceDesc)
Other than imports, there were no changes to any generated code as a result of this.
We cannot do this for "subscribe" and "partition" this easily without
breakage so those are omitted.
Any protobuf message passed around via an Any construct will have the
fully qualified package name embedded in the protobuf as a string. Also
RPC method dispatch will include the package of the service during
serialization.
- We will be passing pbservice and pbpeering through an Any as part of
peer stream replication.
- We will be exposing two new gRPC services via pbpeering and
pbpeerstream.
Peer replication is intended to be between separate Consul installs and
effectively should be considered "external". This PR moves the peer
stream replication bidirectional RPC endpoint to the external gRPC
server and ensures that things continue to function.
