wireprotov2: change command response protocol to include a leading map The error handling mechanism for the new wire protocol isn't very well-defined. This commit takes us a step in the right direction by introducing a leading CBOR map for command responses. This map will contain an overall result of the command. Currently, the map indicates whether the command was overall successful or if an error occurred. And if an error occurred, that error is present in the map. There is still a dedicated error frame. My intent is to use that for protocol-level errors and for errors that are encountered after the initial response frame has been sent. This will be clarified in a later commit.

Sat, 14 Apr 2018 12:11:24 -0700 wireprotov2: change frame type value for command data
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 14 Apr 2018 12:11:24 -0700] rev 37723
wireprotov2: change frame type value for command data When we dropped the dedicated command argument frame type, this left a hole in our frame type numbering. Let's start plugging that hole. The command data frame is now type value 2 instead of 3. There was limited test fallout because a) we do a good job of using the constants to refer to frame types b) not many tests are sending command data frames. Bumping the media type will be performed in a later commit, once all type value adjustment has been performed. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3383
Sat, 14 Apr 2018 12:07:31 -0700 wireprotov2: define response data as CBOR
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 14 Apr 2018 12:07:31 -0700] rev 37722
wireprotov2: define response data as CBOR Previously, response data was defined as a stream of bytes. We had the option to declare it as CBOR using a frame flag. We've converged all wire protocol commands exposed on version 2 to CBOR. I think consistency is important. The overhead to encoding things with CBOR is minimal. Even a very large bytestring can be efficiently encoded using an indefinite length bytestring. Now, there are limitations with consumers not being able to efficiently stream large CBOR values. But these feel like solvable problems. This commit removes the "is CBOR" frame flag from command response frames and defines the frame as always consisting of a stream of CBOR values. The framing protocol media type has been bumped to reflect this BC change. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3382
Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:49:06 -0700 wireprotov2: decode responses to their expected types
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:49:06 -0700] rev 37721
wireprotov2: decode responses to their expected types Callers of established wire protocol commands expect the response from that command to be decoded into a data structure. It's not very useful if callers get back a stream of bytes and don't know how they should be interpreted - especially since that stream of bytes varies by wire protocol and even the transport within that protocol version. This commit establishes decoding functions for various command responses so callers of those commands get the response type they expect. In theory, this should make the version 2 HTTP peer usable for various operations. But I haven't tested to confirm. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3381
Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:46:08 -0700 wireprotov2: establish a type for representing command response
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:46:08 -0700] rev 37720
wireprotov2: establish a type for representing command response It will be desirable to have a higher-level type for representing command responses. This will allow us to do nicer things. For now, the instance encapsulates existing logic. It is still a bit primitive. But we're slowly making things better. Version 1 protocols have a wrapping layer that decodes the raw string data into a data structure and that data structure is sent to the future. Version 2 doesn't yet have this layer and the future is receiving the raw wire response. Hence why debugcommands needed to be taught about the response type.

Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:50:19 -0700 wireprotov2: move response handling out of httppeer
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:50:19 -0700] rev 37719
wireprotov2: move response handling out of httppeer And fix some bugs while we're here. The code for processing response data from the unified framing protocol is mostly peer agnostic. The peer-specific bits are the configuration of the client reactor and how I/O is performed. I initially implemented things in httppeer for expediency. This commit establishes a module for holding the peer API level code for the framing based protocol. Inside this module we have a class to help coordinate higher-level activities, such as managing response object. The client handler bits could be rolled into clientreactor. However, I want clientreactor to be sans I/O and I want it to only be concerned with protocol-level details, not higher-level concepts like how protocol events are converted into peer API concepts. I want clientreactor to receive a frame and then tell the caller what should probably be done about it. If we start putting things like future resolution into clientreactor, we'll constrain how the protocol can be used (e.g. by requiring futures). The new code is loosely based on what was in httppeer before. I changed things a bit around response handling. We now buffer the entire response "body" and then handle it as one atomic unit. This fixed a bug around decoding CBOR data that spanned multiple frames. I also fixed an off-by-one bug where we failed to read a single byte CBOR value at the end of the stream. That's why tests have changed. The new state of httppeer is much cleaner. It is largely agnostic about framing protocol implementation details. That's how it should be: the framing protocol is designed to be largely transport agnostic. We want peers merely putting bytes on the wire and telling the framing protocol where to read response data from. There's still a bit of work to be done here, especially for representing responses. But at least we're a step closer to having a higher-level peer interface that can be plugged into the SSH peer someday. I initially added this class to wireprotoframing. However, we'll eventually need version 2 specific functions to convert CBOR responses into data structures expected by the code calling commands. This needs to live somewhere. Since that code would be shared across peers, we need a common module. We have wireprotov1peer for the equivalent version 1 code. So I decided to establish wireprotov2peer.

Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:49:57 -0700 debugcommands: ability to suppress logging of handshake
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:49:57 -0700] rev 37718
debugcommands: ability to suppress logging of handshake The tests for calling wire protocol commands were getting quite verbose because they included the results of the capabilities request. Furthermore, it was annoying to have to update several tests every time the capabilities response changed. The only tests that really care about the low-level details of the capabilities requests are those testing the protocol handshake. And those are mostly not instantiating peer instances or are contained to limited files. This commit adds an option to `hg debugwireproto` to suppress logging of the handshake. The shell helper function to perform HTTP tests has been updated to use this by default. Lots of excessive test output has gone away. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3378

Sat, 14 Apr 2018 09:23:48 -0700 registrar: replace "cmdtype" with an intent-based mechanism (API)
Gregory Szorc <gregory.szorc@gmail.com> [Sat, 14 Apr 2018 09:23:48 -0700] rev 37716
registrar: replace "cmdtype" with an intent-based mechanism (API) Commands perform varied actions and repositories vary in their capabilities. Historically, the .hg/requires file has been used to lock out clients lacking a requirement. But this is a very heavy-handed approach and is typically reserved for cases where the on-disk storage format changes and we want to prevent incompatible clients from operating on a repo. Outside of the .hg/requires file, we tend to deal with things like optional, extension-provided features via checking at call sites. We'll either have checks in core or extensions will monkeypatch functions in core disabling incompatible features, enabling new features, etc. Things are somewhat tolerable today. But once we introduce alternate storage backends with varying support for repository features and vastly different modes of behavior, the current model will quickly grow unwieldy. For example, the implementation of the "simple store" required a lot of hacks to deal with stripping and verify because various parts of core assume things are implemented a certain way. Partial clone will require new ways of modeling file data retrieval, because we can no longer assume that all file data is already local. In this new world, some commands might not make any sense for certain types of repositories. What we need is a mechanism to affect the construction of repository (and eventually peer) instances so the requirements/capabilities needed for the current operation can be taken into account. "Current operation" can almost certainly be defined by a command. So it makes sense for commands to declare their intended actions. This commit introduces the "intents" concept on the command registrar. "intents" captures a set of strings that declare actions that are anticipated to be taken, requirements the repository must possess, etc. These intents will be passed into hg.repo(), which will pass them into localrepository, where they can be used to influence the object being created. Some use cases for this include: * For read-only intents, constructing a repository object that doesn't expose methods that can mutate the repository. Its VFS instances don't even allow opening a file with write access. * For read-only intents, constructing a repository object without cache invalidation logic. If the repo never changes during its lifetime, nothing ever needs to be invalidated and we don't need to do expensive things like verify the changelog's hidden revisions state is accurate every time we access repo.changelog. * We can automatically hide commands from `hg help` when the current repository doesn't provide that command. For example, an alternate storage backend may not support `hg commit`, so we can hide that command or anything else that would perform local commits. We already kind of had an "intents" mechanism on the registrar in the form of "cmdtype." However, it was never used. And it was limited to a single value. We really need something that supports multiple intents. And because intents may be defined by extensions and at this point are advisory, I think it is best to define them in a set rather than as separate arguments/attributes on the command.
