at the first iteration, only the following metrics are collected:
- HTTP metrics of each API endpoint
- cache counter for request/hit/miss
- histogram of storage actions, including:
GetContent, PutContent, Stat, List, Move, and Delete

To simplify the vendoring story for the client, we have now removed the
requirement for `logrus` and the forked `context` package (usually
imported as `dcontext`). We inject the logger via the metrics tracker
for the blob cache and via options on the token handler. We preserve
logs on the proxy cache for that case. Clients expecting these log
messages may need to be updated accordingly.

Back in the before time, the best practices surrounding usage of Context
weren't quite worked out. We defined our own type to make usage easier.
As this packaged was used elsewhere, it make it more and more
challenging to integrate with the forked `Context` type. Now that it is
available in the standard library, we can just use that one directly.
To make usage more consistent, we now use `dcontext` when referring to
the distribution context package.

The registry uses partial Named values which the named parsers
no longer support. To allow the registry service to continue
to operate without canonicalization, switch to use WithName.
In the future, the registry should start using fully canonical
values on the backend and WithName should no longer support
creating partial values.

There seems to be a need for a type that represents a way of pointing
to an image, irrespective of the implementation.
This patch defines a Reference interface and provides 3 implementations:
- TagReference: when only a tag is provided
- DigestReference: when a digest (according to the digest package) is
provided, can include optional tag as well
Validation of references are purely syntactic.
There is also a strong type for tags, analogous to digests, as well
as a strong type for Repository from which clients can access the
hostname alone, or the repository name without the hostname, or both
together via the String() method.
For Repository, the files names.go and names_test.go were moved from
the v2 package.

The "testing" package adds some flags in its init function, so utilities
that import distribution code may print a page of extra testing flags in
their help output.
This commit solves the issue by moving an import of "testing" in the
registry/storage/cache package to a new
registry/storage/cache/cachecheck package, which is only imported by
tests.

Implement the delete API by implementing soft delete for layers
and blobs by removing link files and updating the blob descriptor
cache. Deletion is configurable - if it is disabled API calls
will return an unsupported error.
We invalidate the blob descriptor cache by changing the linkedBlobStore's
blobStatter to a blobDescriptorService and naming it blobAccessController.
Delete() is added throughout the relevant API to support this functionality.

After consideration, we've changed the main descriptor field name to for number
of bytes to "size" to match convention. While this may be a subjective
argument, commonly we refer to files by their "size" rather than their
"length". This will match other conventions, like `(FileInfo).Size()` and
methods on `io.SizeReaderAt`. Under more broad analysis, this argument doesn't
necessarily hold up. If anything, "size" is shorter than "length".

Ensure that clients can use the blob descriptor cache provider without needing

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.

This changeset defines the interface for layer info caches. Layer info caches
speed up access to layer meta data accessed in storage driver backends. The
two main operations are tests for repository membership and resolving path and
size information for backend blobs.
Two implementations are available. The main implementation leverages redis to
store layer info. An alternative implementation simply caches layer info in
maps, which should speed up resolution for less sophisticated implementations.
