This commit add topic negotiation to the protocol.
On receiving a message from a client with version >= 1, we will generate
a shared key using Diffie-Hellman. We will record also which
installationID has sent us a message.
This key will be passed back to the above layer, which will then use to
start listening to a whisper topic (the `chat` namespace has no
knowledge of whisper).
When sending a message to a set of InstallationIDs, we check whether we
have agreed on a topic with all of them, and if so, we will send on this
separate topic, otherwise we fallback on discovery.
This change is backward compatible, as long as there is no downgrade of
the app on the other side.
A few changes:
* Factored out the DB in a separate namespace as now it is
being used by multiple services (TopicService and EncryptionService).
* Factored out multidevice management in a separate namespace
* Moved all the test to test the whole protoocl rather than just the encryption service
* Moved all the filter management in status-go
In RequestMessagesSync subscriber is listening to a feed where all whisper
events are posted. After we received event with a request hash - subscriber will
stop actively consuming messages from a feed, as a subscription channel will
get overflow and whole feed will get blocked.
Some events are posted to a feed before request is sent, so blocked feed results
in blocked sending.
Now we will unsubscribe after relevant event was received, and terminate subscriber
explicitly by timeout.
This commits adds support for postgres database.
Currently two fields are stored: the bloom filter and the topic.
Only the bloom filter is actually used to query, but potentially we will
use also the topic in the future, so easier to separate it now in order
to avoid a migration.
As part of a performance profiling of mailserver we noticed that most of
the resources on a query are spend decoding the whisper envelope.
This PR changes the way we store envelopes encoding the Topic into the
database key, so we can check that and we are able to publish the
envelope rawValue if it matches.
The change is backward compatible as only newly added envelopes will
have the new key, while old ones will have to be unmarshaled.
* Replace request ID when same request is restarted
* Remove unnecessary changes
* Execute all writes atomically only if request was processed succesfully
* Fix linter
* Fix shadowed errors
* Fix spelling
* Do not append same reference to a byte slice
It was going to be used as proxy from discv5 to rendezvous for les nodes.
We are not using it at the moment, and not clear when we will be using it
and if we are going to use it all.
Additionally it has some memory leaks that need to be fixed, so it is better
to remove it for now and restore once/if we will need it again.
* Notify users that envelope was discarded and retry sending it
* Update Gopkg files with released whisper version
* Forgot to remove signal after refactoring
