When using events, it was found to be fairly unwieldy with a number of
extra packages. For the most part, when interacting with the events
service, we want types of the same version of the service. This has been
accomplished by moving all events types into the events package.
In addition, several fixes to the way events are marshaled have been
included. Specifically, we defer to the protobuf type registration
system to assemble events and type urls, with a little bit sheen on top
of add a containerd.io oriented namespace.
This has resulted in much cleaner event consumption and has removed the
reliance on error prone type urls, in favor of concrete types.

To support multi-tenancy, containerd allows the collection of metadata
and runtime objects within a heirarchical storage primitive known as
namespaces. Data cannot be shared across these namespaces, unless
allowed by the service. This allows multiple sets of containers to
managed without interaction between the clients that management. This
means that different users, such as SwarmKit, K8s, Docker and others can
use containerd without coordination. Through labels, one may use
namespaces as a tool for cleanly organizing the use of containerd
containers, including the metadata storage for higher level features,
such as ACLs.
Namespaces
Namespaces cross-cut all containerd operations and are communicated via
context, either within the Go context or via GRPC headers. As a general
rule, no features are tied to namespace, other than organization. This
will be maintained into the future. They are created as a side-effect of
operating on them or may be created manually. Namespaces can be labeled
for organization. They cannot be deleted unless the namespace is empty,
although we may want to make it so one can clean up the entirety of
containerd by deleting a namespace.
Most users will interface with namespaces by setting in the
context or via the `CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE` environment variable, but the
experience is mostly left to the client. For `ctr` and `dist`, we have
defined a "default" namespace that will be created up on use, but there
is nothing special about it. As part of this PR we have plumbed this
behavior through all commands, cleaning up context management along the
way.
Namespaces in Action
Namespaces can be managed with the `ctr namespaces` subcommand. They
can be created, labeled and destroyed.
A few commands can demonstrate the power of namespaces for use with
images. First, lets create a namespace:
```
$ ctr namespaces create foo mylabel=bar
$ ctr namespaces ls
NAME LABELS
foo mylabel=bar
```
We can see that we have a namespace `foo` and it has a label. Let's pull
an image:
```
$ dist pull docker.io/library/redis:latest

That looks normal. Let's list the images for the `foo` namespace and see
this in action:
```
$ CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=foo dist images ls
REF TYPE DIGEST SIZE
```
Look at that! Nothing was pulled in the namespace `foo`. Let's do the
same pull:

```
Wow, that was very snappy! Looks like we pulled that image into out
namespace but didn't have to download any new data because we are
sharing storage. Let's take a peak at the images we have in `foo`:
```
$ CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=foo dist images ls
REF TYPE DIGEST SIZE
docker.io/library/redis:latest application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json sha256:548a75066f3f280eb017a6ccda34c561ccf4f25459ef8e36d6ea582b6af1decf 72.7 MiB
```
Now, let's remove that image from `foo`:
```
$ CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=foo dist images rm
docker.io/library/redis:latest
```
Looks like it is gone:
```
$ CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=foo dist images ls
REF TYPE DIGEST SIZE
```
But, as we can see, it is present in the `default` namespace:
```
$ dist images ls
REF TYPE DIGEST SIZE
docker.io/library/redis:latest application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json sha256:548a75066f3f280eb017a6ccda34c561ccf4f25459ef8e36d6ea582b6af1decf 72.7 MiB
```
What happened here? We can tell by listing the namespaces to get a
better understanding:
```
$ ctr namespaces ls
NAME LABELS
default
foo mylabel=bar
```
From the above, we can see that the `default` namespace was created with
the standard commands without the environment variable set. Isolating
the set of shared images while sharing the data that matters.
Since we removed the images for namespace `foo`, we can remove it now:
```
$ ctr namespaces rm foo
foo
```
However, when we try to remove the `default` namespace, we get an error:
```
$ ctr namespaces rm default
ctr: unable to delete default: rpc error: code = FailedPrecondition desc = namespace default must be empty
```
This is because we require that namespaces be empty when removed.
Caveats
- While most metadata objects are namespaced, containers and tasks may
exhibit some issues. We still need to move runtimes to namespaces and
the container metadata storage may not be fully worked out.
- Still need to migrate content store to metadata storage and namespace
the content store such that some data storage (ie images).
- Specifics of snapshot driver's relation to namespace needs to be
worked out in detail.

Working from feedback on the existing implementation, we have now
introduced a central metadata object to represent the lifecycle and pin
the resources required to implement what people today know as
containers. This includes the runtime specification and the root
filesystem snapshots. We also allow arbitrary labeling of the container.
Such provisions will bring the containerd definition of container closer
to what is expected by users.
The objects that encompass today's ContainerService, centered around the
runtime, will be known as tasks. These tasks take on the existing
lifecycle behavior of containerd's containers, which means that they are
deleted when they exit. Largely, there are no other changes except for
naming.
The `Container` object will operate purely as a metadata object. No
runtime state will be held on `Container`. It only informs the execution
service on what is required for creating tasks and the resources in use
by that container. The resources referenced by that container will be
deleted when the container is deleted, if not in use. In this sense,
users can create, list, label and delete containers in a similar way as
they do with docker today, without the complexity of runtime locks that
plagues current implementations.
