**Specification:**
View spec at [this URL](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/src/branch/k2v/doc/drafts/k2v-spec.md)
- [x] Specify the structure of K2V triples
- [x] Specify the DVVS format used for causality detection
- [x] Specify the K2V index (just a counter of number of values per partition key)
- [x] Specify single-item endpoints: ReadItem, InsertItem, DeleteItem
- [x] Specify index endpoint: ReadIndex
- [x] Specify multi-item endpoints: InsertBatch, ReadBatch, DeleteBatch
- [x] Move to JSON objects instead of tuples
- [x] Specify endpoints for polling for updates on single values (PollItem)
**Implementation:**
- [x] Table for K2V items, causal contexts
- [x] Indexing mechanism and table for K2V index
- [x] Make API handlers a bit more generic
- [x] K2V API endpoint
- [x] K2V API router
- [x] ReadItem
- [x] InsertItem
- [x] DeleteItem
- [x] PollItem
- [x] ReadIndex
- [x] InsertBatch
- [x] ReadBatch
- [x] DeleteBatch
**Testing:**
- [x] Just a simple Python script that does some requests to check visually that things are going right (does not contain parsing of results or assertions on returned values)
- [x] Actual tests:
- [x] Adapt testing framework
- [x] Simple test with InsertItem + ReadItem
- [x] Test with several Insert/Read/DeleteItem + ReadIndex
- [x] Test all combinations of return formats for ReadItem
- [x] Test with ReadBatch, InsertBatch, DeleteBatch
- [x] Test with PollItem
- [x] Test error codes
- [ ] Fix most broken stuff
- [x] test PollItem broken randomly
- [x] when invalid causality tokens are given, errors should be 4xx not 5xx
**Improvements:**
- [x] Descending range queries
- [x] Specify
- [x] Implement
- [x] Add test
- [x] Batch updates to index counter
- [x] Put K2V behind `k2v` feature flag

Nodes would stabilize on different encoding formats for the values,
some having the pre-migration format and some having the post-migration
format. This would be reflected in the Merkle trees never converging
and thus having an infinite resync loop.
- change the terminology: the network configuration becomes the role
table, the configuration of a nodes becomes a node's role
- the modification of the role table takes place in two steps: first,
changes are staged in a CRDT data structure. Then, once the user is
happy with the changes, they can commit them all at once (or revert
them).
- update documentation
- fix tests
- implement smarter partition assignation algorithm
This patch breaks the format of the network configuration: when
migrating, the cluster will be in a state where no roles are assigned.
All roles must be re-assigned and commited at once. This migration
should not pose an issue.
- Explicit "replication_mode" configuration parameters that takes
either "none", "2" or "3" as values, instead of letting user configure
replication factor themselves. These are presets whose corresponding
replication/quorum values can be found in replication/mode.rs
- Explicit support for single-node and two-node deployments
(number of nodes must be at least "replication_mode", with "none"
we can have only one node)
- Ring is now stored much more compactly with 256*8 + n*32 bytes,
instead of 256*32 bytes
- Support for gateway-only nodes that do not store data
(these nodes still need a metadata_directory to store the list
of bucket and keys since those are stored on all nodes; it also
technically needs a data_directory to start but it will stay
empty unless we have bugs)
