Stephen J Day 593bbccdb5 Refactor Blob Service API 
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.

# Registry Configuration Reference
You configure a registry server using a YAML file. This page explains the
configuration options and the values they can take. You'll also find examples of
middleware and development environment configurations.
## List of configuration options
This section lists all the registry configuration options. Some options in
the list are mutually exclusive. So, make sure to read the detailed reference
information about each option that appears later in this page.

In some instances a configuration option is **optional** but it contains child
options marked as **required**. This indicates that you can omit the parent with
all its children. However, if the parent is included, you must also include all
the children marked **required**.
## Override configuration options
You can use environment variables to override most configuration parameters. The
exception is the `version` variable which cannot be overridden. You can set
environment variables on the command line using the `-e` flag on `docker run` or
from within a Dockerfile using the `ENV` instruction.
To override a configuration option, create an environment variable named
`REGISTRY\variable_` where *`variable`* is the name of the configuration option
and the `_` (underscore) represents indention levels. For example, you can
configure the `rootdirectory` of the `filesystem` storage backend:
```
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /tmp/registry
```
To override this value, set an environment variable like this:
```
REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY=/tmp/registry/test
```
This variable overrides the `/tmp/registry` value to the `/tmp/registry/test`
directory.
>**Note**: If an environment variable changes a map value into a string, such
>as replacing the storage driver type with `REGISTRY_STORAGE=filesystem`, then
>all sub-fields will be erased. As such, specifying the storage type in the
>environment will remove all parameters related to the old storage
>configuration.
## version
```yaml
version: 0.1
```
The `version` option is **required**. It specifies the configuration's version.
It is expected to remain a top-level field, to allow for a consistent version
check before parsing the remainder of the configuration file.
## log
The `log` subsection configures the behavior of the logging system. The logging
system outputs everything to stdout. You can adjust the granularity and format
with this configuration section.
```yaml
log:
level: debug
formatter: text
fields:
service: registry
environment: staging
```
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>level</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
Sets the sensitivity of logging output. Permitted values are
<code>error</code>, <code>warn</code>, <code>info</code> and
<code>debug</code>. The default is <code>info</code>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>formatter</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
This selects the format of logging output. The format primarily affects how keyed
attributes for a log line are encoded. Options are <code>text</code>, <code>json</code> or
<code>logstash</code>. The default is <code>text</code>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>fields</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
A map of field names to values. These are added to every log line for
the context. This is useful for identifying log messages source after
being mixed in other systems.
</td>
</table>
## loglevel
> **DEPRECATED:** Please use [log](#log) instead.
```yaml
loglevel: debug
```
Permitted values are `error`, `warn`, `info` and `debug`. The default is
`info`.
## storage
```yaml
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /tmp/registry
azure:
accountname: accountname
accountkey: base64encodedaccountkey
container: containername
s3:
accesskey: awsaccesskey
secretkey: awssecretkey
region: us-west-1
bucket: bucketname
encrypt: true
secure: true
v4auth: true
chunksize: 5242880
rootdirectory: /s3/object/name/prefix
cache:
blobdescriptor: inmemory
maintenance:
uploadpurging:
enabled: true
age: 168h
interval: 24h
dryrun: false
```
The storage option is **required** and defines which storage backend is in use.
You must configure one backend; if you configure more, the registry returns an error.
### cache
Use the `cache` subsection to enable caching of data accessed in the storage
backend. Currently, the only available cache provides fast access to layer
metadata. This, if configured, uses the `blobdescriptor` field.
You can set `blobdescriptor` field to `redis` or `inmemory`. The `redis` value uses
a Redis pool to cache layer metadata. The `inmemory` value uses an in memory
map.
>**NOTE**: Formerly, `blobdescriptor` was known as `layerinfo`. While these
>are equivalent, `layerinfo` has been deprecated, in favor or
>`blobdescriptor`.
### filesystem
The `filesystem` storage backend uses the local disk to store registry files. It
is ideal for development and may be appropriate for some small-scale production
applications.
This backend has a single, required `rootdirectory` parameter. The parameter
specifies the absolute path to a directory. The registry stores all its data
here so make sure there is adequate space available.
### azure
This storage backend uses Microsoft's Azure Storage platform.

</table>
### Maintenance
Currently the registry can perform one maintenance function: upload purging. This and future
maintenance functions which are related to storage can be configured under the maintenance section.
### Upload Purging
Upload purging is a background process that periodically removes orphaned files from the upload
directories of the registry. Upload purging is enabled by default. To
configure upload directory purging, the following parameters
must be set.
| Parameter | Required | Description
--------- | -------- | -----------
`enabled` | yes | Set to true to enable upload purging. Default=true. |
`age` | yes | Upload directories which are older than this age will be deleted. Default=168h (1 week)
`interval` | yes | The interval between upload directory purging. Default=24h.
`dryrun` | yes | dryrun can be set to true to obtain a summary of what directories will be deleted. Default=false.
Note: `age` and `interval` are strings containing a number with optional fraction and a unit suffix: e.g. 45m, 2h10m, 168h (1 week).
## auth
```yaml
auth:
silly:
realm: silly-realm
service: silly-service
token:
realm: token-realm
service: token-service
issuer: registry-token-issuer
rootcertbundle: /root/certs/bundle
```
The `auth` option is **optional** as there are use cases (i.e. a mirror that
only permits pulls) for which authentication may not be desired. There are
currently 2 possible auth providers, `silly` and `token`. You can configure only
one `auth` provider.
### silly
The `silly` auth is only for development purposes. It simply checks for the
existence of the `Authorization` header in the HTTP request. It has no regard for
the header's value. If the header does not exist, the `silly` auth responds with a
challenge response, echoing back the realm, service, and scope that access was
denied for.
The following values are used to configure the response:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>realm</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The realm in which the registry server authenticates.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>service</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The service being authenticated.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
### token
Token based authentication allows the authentication system to be decoupled from
the registry. It is a well established authentication paradigm with a high
degree of security.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>realm</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The realm in which the registry server authenticates.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>service</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The service being authenticated.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>issuer</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The name of the token issuer. The issuer inserts this into
the token so it must match the value configured for the issuer.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>rootcertbundle</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The absolute path to the root certificate bundle. This bundle contains the
public part of the certificates that is used to sign authentication tokens.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
For more information about Token based authentication configuration, see the [specification.]
## middleware
The `middleware` option is **optional**. Use this option to inject middleware at
named hook points. All middlewares must implement the same interface as the
object they're wrapping. This means a registry middleware must implement the
`distribution.Namespace` interface, repository middleware must implement
`distribution.Respository`, and storage middleware must implement
`driver.StorageDriver`.
Currently only one middleware, `cloudfront`, a storage middleware, is supported
in the registry implementation.
```yaml
middleware:
registry:
- name: ARegistryMiddleware
options:
foo: bar
repository:
- name: ARepositoryMiddleware
options:
foo: bar
storage:
- name: cloudfront
options:
baseurl: https://my.cloudfronted.domain.com/
privatekey: /path/to/pem
keypairid: cloudfrontkeypairid
duration: 3000
```
Each middleware entry has `name` and `options` entries. The `name` must
correspond to the name under which the middleware registers itself. The
`options` field is a map that details custom configuration required to
initialize the middleware. It is treated as a `map[string]interface{}`. As such,
it supports any interesting structures desired, leaving it up to the middleware
initialization function to best determine how to handle the specific
interpretation of the options.
### cloudfront
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>baseurl</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
<code>SCHEME://HOST[/PATH]</code> at which Cloudfront is served.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>privatekey</code>

yes
</td>
<td>
Private Key for Cloudfront provided by AWS.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>keypairid</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
Key pair ID provided by AWS.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>

```
The `reporting` option is **optional** and configures error and metrics
reporting tools. At the moment only two services are supported, [New
Relic](http://newrelic.com/) and [Bugsnag](http://bugsnag.com), a valid
configuration may contain both.
### bugsnag

key: /path/to/x509/private
clientcas:
- /path/to/ca.pem
- /path/to/another/ca.pem
debug:
addr: localhost:5001
```
The `http` option details the configuration for the HTTP server that hosts the registry.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>addr</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
The address for which the server should accept connections. The form depends on a network type (see <code>net</code> option):

<td>
If the server does not run at the root path use this value to specify the
prefix. The root path is the section before <code>v2</code>. It
should have both preceding and trailing slashes, for example <code>/path/</code>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<code>secret</code>
</td>
<td>
yes
</td>
<td>
A random piece of data. This is used to sign state that may be stored with the
client to protect against tampering. For production environments you should generate a
random piece of data using a cryptographically secure random generator.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
### tls
The `tls` struct within `http` is **optional**. Use this to configure TLS
for the server. If you already have a server such as Nginx or Apache running on
the same host as the registry, you may prefer to configure TLS termination there
and proxy connections to the registry server.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Required</th>

<td>
<code>clientcas</code>
</td>
<td>
no
</td>
<td>
An array of absolute paths to a x509 CA file
</td>
</tr>
</table>
### debug
The `debug` option is **optional** . Use it to configure a debug server that can
be helpful in diagnosing problems. Contributors to the distribution repository
should find the debug server useful. Docker recommends disabling it in
production environments.
The `debug` section takes a single, required `addr` parameter. This parameter
specifies the `HOST:PORT` on which the debug server should accept connections.
## notifications
```yaml
notifications:
endpoints:
- name: alistener
disabled: false
url: https://my.listener.com/event
headers: <http.Header>
timeout: 500
threshold: 5
backoff: 1000
```
The notifications option is **optional** and currently may contain a single
option, `endpoints`.
### endpoints
Endpoints is a list of named services (URLs) that can accept event notifications.

## Example: Development configuration
The following is a simple example you can use for local development:
```yaml
version: 0.1
log:
level: debug
storage:
filesystem:
rootdirectory: /tmp/registry-dev
http:
addr: localhost:5000
secret: asecretforlocaldevelopment
debug:
addr: localhost:5001
```
The above configures the registry instance to run on port `5000`, binding to
`localhost`, with the `debug` server enabled. Registry data storage is in the
`/tmp/registry-dev` directory. Logging is in `debug` mode, which is the most
verbose.
A similar simple configuration is available at
[config.yml](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/cmd/registry/config.yml).
Both are generally useful for local development.
## Example: Middleware configuration
This example illustrates how to configure storage middleware in a registry.
Middleware allows the registry to serve layers via a content delivery network
(CDN). This is useful for reducing requests to the storage layer.
Currently, the registry supports [Amazon
Cloudfront](http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/). You can only use Cloudfront in
conjunction with the S3 storage driver.
<table>
<tr>
<th>Parameter</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>name</code></td>
<td>The storage middleware name. Currently <code>cloudfront</code> is an accepted value.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>disabled<code></td>
<td>Set to <code>false</code> to easily disable the middleware.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><code>options:</code></td>
<td>
A set of key/value options to configure the middleware.
<ul>
<li><code>baseurl:</code> The Cloudfront base URL.</li>
<li><code>privatekey:</code> The location of your AWS private key on the filesystem. </li>
<li><code>keypairid:</code> The ID of your Cloudfront keypair. </li>
<li><code>duration:</code> The duration in minutes for which the URL is valid. Default is 20. </li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The following example illustrates these values:
```
middleware:
storage:
- name: cloudfront
disabled: false
options:
baseurl: http://d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net
privatekey: /path/to/asecret.pem
keypairid: asecret
duration: 60
```
>**Note**: Cloudfront keys exist separately to other AWS keys. See
>[the documentation on AWS credentials](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSecurityCredentials/1.0/AboutAWSCredentials.html#KeyPairs)
