Pass all parameters from JSON-RPC requests to their corresponding handlers
using struct types instead of positional parameters. This allows us to control
encoding of arguments using only the standard library, and to eliminate the
remaining special-purpose JSON encoding hooks in the server.
To support existing use, the server still allows arguments to be encoded in
JSON as either an array or an object.
Related changes:
- Rework the RPCFunc constructor to reduce reflection during RPC call service.
- Add request parameter wrappers for each RPC service method.
- Update the RPC Environment methods to use these types.
- Update the interfaces and shims derived from Environment to the new
signatures.
- Update and extend test cases.
I was digging around over here, and thought it'd be good to
cleanup/standardize the line formating on a few of these methods. Also
found a few cases where we could use contexts better so did a little
bit of cleanup there too!
Since the goal of reading events at the head of the event log is to satisfy a
subscription style interface, there is no point in allowing head polling with
no wait interval. The pagination case already bypasses long polling, so the
extra option is unneessary.
Set a minimum default long-polling interval for the head case.
Add a test for minimum delay.
This allows the caller to stream events. It handles the bookkeeping for cursors
and pagination, and delivers items to a callback.
Handle missed items by reporting a structured error. The caller can use the
Reset method to "catch up" to head after this happens.
Add a manual test CLI to probe a running node. Requires the node to be
configured with the event log settings.
Add a unit test that scripts input to the stream to exercise it.
