When a client disconnects without completing a HTTP request, we were
attempting to process the partial request, which usually leads to a 400
error. These errors can pollute the logs and make it more difficult to
track down real bugs.
This change uses CloseNotifier to detect disconnects. In combination
with checking Content-Length, we can detect a disconnect before sending
the full payload, and avoid logging a 400 error.
This logic is only applied to PUT, POST, and PATCH endpoints, as these
are the places where disconnects during a request are most likely to
happen.

This PR refactors the blob service API to be oriented around blob descriptors.
Identified by digests, blobs become an abstract entity that can be read and
written using a descriptor as a handle. This allows blobs to take many forms,
such as a ReadSeekCloser or a simple byte buffer, allowing blob oriented
operations to better integrate with blob agnostic APIs (such as the `io`
package). The error definitions are now better organized to reflect conditions
that can only be seen when interacting with the blob API.
The main benefit of this is to separate the much smaller metadata from large
file storage. Many benefits also follow from this. Reading and writing has
been separated into discrete services. Backend implementation is also
simplified, by reducing the amount of metadata that needs to be picked up to
simply serve a read. This also improves cacheability.
"Opening" a blob simply consists of an access check (Stat) and a path
calculation. Caching is greatly simplified and we've made the mapping of
provisional to canonical hashes a first-class concept. BlobDescriptorService
and BlobProvider can be combined in different ways to achieve varying effects.
Recommend Review Approach
-------------------------
This is a very large patch. While apologies are in order, we are getting a
considerable amount of refactoring. Most changes follow from the changes to
the root package (distribution), so start there. From there, the main changes
are in storage. Looking at (*repository).Blobs will help to understand the how
the linkedBlobStore is wired. One can explore the internals within and also
branch out into understanding the changes to the caching layer. Following the
descriptions below will also help to guide you.
To reduce the chances for regressions, it was critical that major changes to
unit tests were avoided. Where possible, they are left untouched and where
not, the spirit is hopefully captured. Pay particular attention to where
behavior may have changed.
Storage
-------
The primary changes to the `storage` package, other than the interface
updates, were to merge the layerstore and blobstore. Blob access is now
layered even further. The first layer, blobStore, exposes a global
`BlobStatter` and `BlobProvider`. Operations here provide a fast path for most
read operations that don't take access control into account. The
`linkedBlobStore` layers on top of the `blobStore`, providing repository-
scoped blob link management in the backend. The `linkedBlobStore` implements
the full `BlobStore` suite, providing access-controlled, repository-local blob
writers. The abstraction between the two is slightly broken in that
`linkedBlobStore` is the only channel under which one can write into the global
blob store. The `linkedBlobStore` also provides flexibility in that it can act
over different link sets depending on configuration. This allows us to use the
same code for signature links, manifest links and blob links. Eventually, we
will fully consolidate this storage.
The improved cache flow comes from the `linkedBlobStatter` component
of `linkedBlobStore`. Using a `cachedBlobStatter`, these combine together to
provide a simple cache hierarchy that should streamline access checks on read
and write operations, or at least provide a single path to optimize. The
metrics have been changed in a slightly incompatible way since the former
operations, Fetch and Exists, are no longer relevant.
The fileWriter and fileReader have been slightly modified to support the rest
of the changes. The most interesting is the removal of the `Stat` call from
`newFileReader`. This was the source of unnecessary round trips that were only
present to look up the size of the resulting reader. Now, one must simply pass
in the size, requiring the caller to decide whether or not the `Stat` call is
appropriate. In several cases, it turned out the caller already had the size
already. The `WriterAt` implementation has been removed from `fileWriter`,
since it is no longer required for `BlobWriter`, reducing the number of paths
which writes may take.
Cache
-----
Unfortunately, the `cache` package required a near full rewrite. It was pretty
mechanical in that the cache is oriented around the `BlobDescriptorService`
slightly modified to include the ability to set the values for individual
digests. While the implementation is oriented towards caching, it can act as a
primary store. Provisions are in place to have repository local metadata, in
addition to global metadata. Fallback is implemented as a part of the storage
package to maintain this flexibility.
One unfortunate side-effect is that caching is now repository-scoped, rather
than global. This should have little effect on performance but may increase
memory usage.
Handlers
--------
The `handlers` package has been updated to leverage the new API. For the most
part, the changes are superficial or mechanical based on the API changes. This
did expose a bug in the handling of provisional vs canonical digests that was
fixed in the unit tests.
Configuration
-------------
One user-facing change has been made to the configuration and is updated in
the associated documentation. The `layerinfo` cache parameter has been
deprecated by the `blobdescriptor` cache parameter. Both are equivalent and
configuration files should be backward compatible.
Notifications
-------------
Changes the `notification` package are simply to support the interface
changes.
Context
-------
A small change has been made to the tracing log-level. Traces have been moved
from "info" to "debug" level to reduce output when not needed.

This adds WithTrace function to the context package that allows users to trace
a time span between a trace allocation and returned function call. The
resulting context includes ids that will allow for future dapper-like analysis.
Please see the godoc addition for details.

This moves the instance id out of the app so that it is associated with an
instantiation of the runtime. The instance id is stored on the background
context. This allows allow contexts using the main background context to
include an instance id for log messages. It also simplifies the application
slightly.

Redis has been integrated with the web application for use with various
services. The configuraiton exposes connection details, timeouts and pool
parameters. Documentation has been updated accordingly.
A few convenience methods have been added to the context package to get loggers
with certain fields, exposing some missing functionality from logrus.

You shouldn't have to import both:
github.com/docker/distribution/context
golang.org/x/net/context
just to use the distribution tools and implement the distribution interfaces.
By pulling the Context interface from golang.org/x/net/context into the
context package within the distribution project, you no longer have to import
both packages.
Note: You do not have to change anything anywhere else yet! All current uses
of both packages together will still work correctly because the Context
interface from either package is identical.
I've also made some other minor changes:
- Added a RemoteIP function. It's like RemoteAddr but discards the port suffix
- Added `.String()` to the response duration context value so that JSON log
formatting shows human-parseable duration and not just number of nano-seconds
- Added WithMapContext(...) to the context package. This is a useful function
so I pulled it out of the main.go in cmd/registry so that it can be used
elsewhere.

through proxies.
Add a function to examine X-Forward-For and X-Real-Ip headers for
originating IP addresses. Use RemoteAddr for notification request
record and HTTP request context.
The new context package supports context-aware logging, integrating with
logrus. Several utilities are provided to associate http requests with a
context, ensuring that one can trace log messages all the way through a
context-aware call stack.
A full description of this functionality is available in doc.go.
