tpu-client/tpu_connection_cache is refactored out the module and moved to connection-cache/connection_cache and the logic in client/connection_cache is consolidated to connection-cache/connection_cache as well. client/connection_cache only has a thin wrapper which forward calls to connection-cache/connection_cache and deal with constructions of quic/udp connection cache for clients using them both.2.
The TpuConnection is refactored to ClientConnection to make it generic and functions renamed to be proper for other workflows. eg. tpu_addr -> server_addr, send_transaction --> send_data and etc...
The enum dispatch is removed so that we can make the bulk of code of quic and udp agnostic of each other. The client is possible to load quic or udp only into its runtime.
The generic type parameter in the tpu-client/tpu_connection_cache is removed in order to create both quic and udp connection cache and use the object to send transactions with multiple branching when sending data. The generic type parameters and associated types are dropped in other types in order to make the trait "object safe" for this purpose.
I have annotated the code explaining the reasoning and the refactoring source -> destination.
There is no functional changes
bench-tps has been performed for rpc-client, thin-client and tpu-client. And it is found the performance number largely match the ones before the refactoring.
* Add new empty crates and tpu_connection_cache module
* Add BaseTpuConnection trait and impl for udp and quic
* Add ConnectionPool trait and impl for udp and quic (quic-client doesn't build)
* Add a couple quic-specific apis to QuicConfig (from ConnectionCache)
* Re-export quic- and udp-client modules to prep for move
* Move ConnectionCacheStats to new module
* Move consts
* Duplicate ConnectionCache into tpu_connection_cache (doesn't build)
* Move methods to QuicConfig and remove unneeded methods (doesn't build)
* Genericize new ConnectionCache
* Rename new struct
* Copy unit tests (tests don't build)
* Fixup unit tests
* Move quic-specific test to quic-client crate
* DRY by using ConnectionPool method
* Prevent evicting pool about to be used
