To support single-flight Size and ModTime queries against backend storage file,
we are replacing the CurrentSize call with a Stat call. A FileInfo interface is
provided for backends to provide a type, with a default implementation called
FileInfoInternal, for use by driver implementations.
More work needs to follow this change to update all the driver implementations.
This change brings the storagedriver API in line with the Go standard library's
use of int64 for offsets. The main benefit is simplicity in interfacing with
the io library reducing the number of type conversions in simple code.
Fixes/tests listing for keys beginning with "/"
No longer extraneously wraps Closers in ioutil.NopClosers
Uses omitempty for all ipc struct type fields
This only works for a specific whitelist of error types, which is
currently all errors in the storagedriver package.
Also improves storagedriver tests to enforce proper error types are
returned
The registry currently only accepts storage driver versions with the
same major version and an equal or lower minor version as its own
current storage driver api version, but this may be changed in the
future if we decide to implement specific version cross-compatibility.
Custom storage drivers can register a factory to create the driver by
name, similar to the database/sql package's Register and Open
factory.Create returns an in-process driver if registered or an IPC
driver if one can be found, erroring otherwise
This standardizes parameter passing for creation of storage drivers
Also adds documentation for storagedriver package and children
