In containerd 1.5.x, we introduced support for go modules by adding a
go.mod file in the root directory. This go.mod lists all the things
needed across the whole code base (with the exception of
integration/client which has its own go.mod). So when projects that
need to make calls to containerd API will pull in some code from
containerd/containerd, the `go mod` commands will add all the things
listed in the root go.mod to the projects go.mod file. This causes
some problems as the list of things needed to make a simple API call
is enormous. in effect, making a API call will pull everything that a
typical server needs as well as the root go.mod is all encompassing.
In general if we had smaller things folks could use, that will make it
easier by reducing the number of things that will end up in a consumers
go.mod file.
Now coming to a specific problem, the root containerd go.mod has various
k8s.io/* modules listed. Also kubernetes depends on containerd indirectly
via both moby/moby (working with docker maintainers seperately) and via
google/cadvisor. So when the kubernetes maintainers try to use latest
1.5.x containerd, they will see the kubernetes go.mod ending up depending
on the older version of kubernetes!
So if we can expose just the minimum things needed to make a client API
call then projects like cadvisor can adopt that instead of pulling in
the entire go.mod from containerd. Looking at the existing code in
cadvisor the minimum things needed would be the api/ directory from
containerd. Please see proof of concept here:
github.com/google/cadvisor/pull/2908
To enable that, in this PR, we add a go.mod file in api/ directory. we
split the Protobuild.yaml into two, one for just the things in api/
directory and the rest in the root directory. We adjust various targets
to build things correctly using `protobuild` and also ensure that we
end up with the same generated code as before as well. To ensure we
better take care of the various go.mod/go.sum files, we update the
existing `make vendor` and also add a new `make verify-vendor` that one
can run locally as well in the CI.
Ideally, we would have a `containerd/client` either as a standalone repo
or within `containerd/containerd` as a separate go module. but we will
start here to experiment with a standalone api go module first.
Also there are various follow ups we can do, for example @thaJeztah has
identified two tasks we could do after this PR lands:

We move from having our own generated version of the googleapis files to
an upstream version that is present in gogo. As part of this, we update
the protobuf package to 1.0 and make some corrections for slight
differences in the generated code.
The impact of this change is very low.

Because of a side-effect import, we have the possibility of pulling in
several unnecessary packages that are used by the plugin and not at
runtime to implement protobuf structures. Setting these imports to
`weak` prevents this from happening, reducing the total import set,
reducing memory usage and binary size.

To allow for updating extensions without collisions, we have moved to
using a map type that can be explicitly selected via the field path for
updates. This ensures that multiple parties can operate on their
extensions without stepping on each other's toes or incurring an
inordinate number of round trips.

This field allows a client to store specialized information in the
container metadata rather than having to store this itself and keep
the data in sync with containerd.

There were a few files printing warnings during the build due to
erroneous imports. These imports have now been removed.

To simplify use of types, we have consolidate the packages for the mount
and descriptor protobuf types into a single Go package. We also drop the
versioning from the type packages, as these types will remain the same
between versions.

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.
