This PR addresses the following:
- Install and Configure protolint to enforce the protobuf style guide rules in the CI.
- Fix the protolinting issues (package and import ordering) while maintaining the comaptibility.
The active probability estimator can be switched dynamically using the
`Set/GetMissionControl` API, maintaining backward compatibility. The
lncli commands `setmccfg` and `getmccfg` are updated around this
functionality. Note that deprecated configuration parameters were
removed from the commands.
We deprecate `QueryProbability`, as it displays the same information as
`QueryMissionControl` less the probability. `QueryRoutes` still contains
the total probability of a route.
This commit adds the `force` flag to the `XImportMissionControl` RPC
which allows skipping rules around the pair import except for what is
mandatory to make values meaningful. This can be useful for when clients
would like to forcibly override MC state in order to manipulate routing
results.
To avoid a naming conflict with etcd, we rename our very generic
rpc.proto to lightning.proto to match the service name that's declared
within. This will break many external tutorials and possibly also our
API docs but the change needs to be done eventually.
Until now, clients of SubscribeHTLCEvents didn't have access to the settled preimage. The API allows to intercept forward event and to be updated on forward events however the forward+settle event does not include the payment preimage. This pr changes allows it.
In this commit, we extend the `BuildRoute` method and RPC on the router
sub-server to accept a raw payment address which will be included as
part of an MPP payload for the finla hop. This change actually also
allows users to craft their own MPP paths using BuildRoute+SendToRoute.
Our primary goal however, was to fix some broken itests since we now
require the payAddr to be present for ALL payments other than key send
payments.
In this commit we add the ability to intercept forwarded htlc packets
straight from the RPC layer. The RPC layer handles a bidrectional stream
that comminucates to the client the intercepted packets and handles its
response by coordinating with the interceptable switch.
This is a preparation for enabling the REST interface on routerrpc.
It provides REST clients that don't support server-side streaming
via keep-alive connections to use the streaming endpoint in the
typical request/response pattern. The url just needs to contain
?no_inflight_updates=true and only the terminal response is sent
back before the connection is closed.
