Protocol buffer files for TiKV

• Write your own protocol file in proto folder.
• If you need to update raft-rs, please download the proto file respectively and overwrite the one in include folder.
• Run make to generate go and rust code. We generate all go codes in pkg folder and rust in src folder.
• Update the dependent projects.

• Rust
• Go
• Protoc 3.8.0

To avoid IDE-induced diffs, we use buf format to keep all .proto files consistently formatted.

• Check formatting (also runs as part of make check): make proto-fmt-check
• Format in-place: make proto-fmt

The formatter is pinned and will be downloaded automatically into ./bin (gitignored) when needed. If make check fails on formatting, run make proto-fmt and then rerun make check.

The easiest way to compile the protobufs is to use docker.

./scripts/docker-build.sh  # build the docker image once
./scripts/docker-run.sh make go

There are many dependencies to be installed, please refer to the relevant scripts in workflow to set them up.
