RAPIDE Master Plan

[Jorropo]

Description:
This is a non authoritative roadmap.

RAPIDE aims to be a new next gen multipeer & multiprotocol download client, it has a new "server driven" API, consumers (gateway, unixfs, ...) will do rich graph requests using ipsl (InterPlanetary Selector Language), most of the roll out friction is around the fact that all the current code use GetBlock(context.Context, cid.Cid) (block.Block, error) interface "client" driven, we will need to update our unixfs implementations and API to do graph based requests instead.

The goal of this roadmap is to explain how we can roll out progressively RAPIDE into Kubo and the go Kubo ecosystem.

Eta: 2024-01-01

Children:

• RAPIDE POC #4
• Use RAPIDE for Kubo for unordered block requests #7
• Use RAPIDE for ipfs get requests #13
• Use RAPIDE for all dag requests #10
• Support non unixfs dataformats with RAPIDE #11
