The original process is stopping etcd only when pipeline message finds itself
has been removed. After this PR, stream dial has this functionality too.
It helps fast etcd stop, which doesn't need to wait for stream break to
fall back to pipeline, and wait for election timeout to send out message
to detect self removal.
Add remotes to rafthttp, who help newly joined members catch up the
progress of the cluster. It supports basic message sending to remote, and
has no stream connection for simplicity. remotes will not be used
after the latest peers have been added into rafthttp.
The patch decreases the allocs when sending one AppEntry in msgappv2
stream from 30 to 9. This helps reduce CPU load when etcd is under
high write load.
msgappv2 stream is used to send all MsgApp, and replaces the
functionality of msgapp stream. Compared to v1, it has several
advantanges:
1. The output message is exactly the same with the input one, which
cannot be done in v1.
2. It uses one connection to stream persistently, which prevents message
reorder and saves the time to request stream.
3. It transmits 10 addiontional bytes in the procedure of committing one
proposal, which is trivia for idle time.
4. It transmits less bytes when committing mutliple proposals or keep
committing proposals.
The messages in channel are outdated, and there is no need to send
them in the future. It also reports unreachable if there are messages
in the channel.
The size of MsgSnap may be very big, e.g., 1G.
If its size is big and general streaming is used to send it, it may block
the following messages for several ten seconds, which interrupts the
heartbeat heavily.
Only use pipeline to send MsgSnap.
New rafthttp uses /raft/stream/msgapp for MsgApp stream, but v2.0 rafthttp
cannot understand it. Use the old endpoint /raft/stream instead for backward
compatibility, and plan to move to new endpoint in the version after the
next one.
Dial timeout is set shorter because
1. etcd is supposed to work in good environment, and the new value is long
enough
2. shorter dial timeout makes dial fail faster, which is good for
performance
