1) Extract consensus logic to safekeeper.rs.
2) Change the voting flow so that acceptor tells his epoch along with giving
the vote, not before it; otherwise it might get immediately stale. #294
3) Process messages from compute atomically and sync state properly. #270
4) Use separate structs for disk and network.
ref #315
Upgrade to bindgen 0.59, which has two new abilities:
- specify arbitrary #[derive] attributes to attach to generated structs
- request explicit padding fields
These two features are enough to replace transmute with serde/bincode.
Move ReceiveWalConn into its own file. Shuffle constants around so they
are close to the protocol they're associated with, or move them into
postgres_ffi if they seem to be global constants.
Replace XLogRecPtr with Lsn in wal_service.rs .
This removes the last use of XLogSegmentOffset and XLByteToSeg, so
delete them. (replaced by Lsn::segment_offset and Lsn::segment_number.)
