Description

Client worker should not care about storage kind (see).

Instead storage should be initialized during node initialization, and passed to client and (storage) workers explicitly. (Or via runtime.Runtime.GetStorage).

Method runtime.Runtime.RegisterStorage should be removed which reduces complexity, worker coupling and is step towards testable workers.

Research direction

Start by reading go/worker/client/worker.go around the storage handling and go/worker/storage/worker.go around storage registration. Trace node initialization and the runtime.Runtime RegisterStorage and GetStorage methods to understand the current flow. Done means storage is initialized at the node, passed explicitly to the client and storage workers or exposed through GetStorage, and RegisterStorage is removed.
