This is an incomplete / broken idea that I'm just posting as a
discussion point. I don't intend to pursue this idea further at the
moment.
----
The major issue with it is that it uses a custom binary protocol
between nbdkit & the external process. That's a pain for anyone to
parse and generate. Ideally we could use an existing protocol, but
the problem with that is it adds both dependencies to the plugin and a
need for the external process to have a library or implementation for
that protocol, which may not be any better.
Rich.
5:30 a.m.
This plugin lets you use an external subprocess, like nbdkit-sh-plugin
except that the subprocess is persistent across calls. There is one
subprocess handling all connections. Think of this as "FastCGI for
plugins" - because the subprocess is persistent instead of having to
be forked on every request, it may be faster for some use cases.
Communication between nbdkit and the subprocess uses a simple remote
procedure call (RPC) over stdin/stdout, which is string based and
similar to the shell commands used by nbdkit-sh-plugin.
The new plugin shares most code with nbdkit-sh-plugin /
nbdkit-eval-plugin.

+=head1 NAME
+
+nbdkit-proc-plugin - use an external program to implement a plugin
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ nbdkit proc program [arguments...]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<nbdkit-proc-plugin> allows you to write plugins for L<nbdkit(1)>
+using an external program written in any programming or scripting
+language.
+
+It is similar to L<nbdkit-sh-plugin(3)>, except that the subprocess is
+persistent across calls. If you think of nbdkit-sh-plugin as being
+like CGI, then this is like
+L<FastCGI|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FastCGI>. Because the
+subprocess is persistent instead of having to be forked on every
+request, it may be faster than nbdkit-sh-plugin in some cases.
+
+Alternatives to this plugin include L<nbdkit-sh-plugin(3)>,
+L<nbdkit-eval-plugin(1)>, or writing a regular nbdkit plugin which is
+dynamically loaded into nbdkit (L<nbdkit-plugin(3)>).
+
+=head2 If you have been given an nbdkit proc plugin
+
+You can use it like this:
+
+ nbdkit proc program
+
+You may have to add further C<key=value> arguments to the command
+line. The program must be executable (C<chmod +x>).
+
+=head1 WRITING AN NBDKIT PROC PLUGIN
+
+For example plugins, see:
+L<https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/blob/master/plugins/proc/examples/>
+
+As this plugin works like L<nbdkit-sh-plugin(3)> and shares the
+implementation, reading the documentation for that plugin first as
+well as L<nbdkit-plugin(3)> is recommended.
+
+=head2 The external program
+
+C<nbdkit proc program> starts the external C<program> when nbdkit
+starts, and kills it when nbdkit shuts down.
+
+While nbdkit is running, requests from nbdkit are forwarded to the
+external program over its stdin, and the external program should write
+replies to its stdout. The protocol is a simple string-based remote
+procedure call (RPC) described below.
+
+It is possible to configure the RPC to allow only one, or multiple
+requests to be in flight at once. This gives you flexibility: you can
+choose to write a simple read request + write reply loop that handles
+requests one at a time; or you can write something more sophisticated
+that keeps track of multiple requests in parallel.
+
+This plugin only ever starts one external program (per instance of
+nbdkit) across all nbdkit clients, so if your program needs
+parallelism it should start its own threads.
+
+=head2 Remote procedure call protocol
+
+The remote procedure call protocol is a simple string-based encoding
+which is very similar to the parameters used by
+L<nbdkit-sh-plugin(3)>, but serialized over the stdin and stdout of
+your program.
+
+There is a simple implementation available in
+L<https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/blob/master/plugins/proc/proc-protocol.c>
+and
+L<https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/blob/master/plugins/proc/proc-protocol.h>
+or you can write your own by following the specification below.
+
+Requests and replies are lists of NUL-terminated (C-like) strings.
+For example, this sequence of bytes:
+
+ 'R', '9', '9', '\0',
+ '0', '\0',
+ '1', '\0',
+ 'c', 'l', 'o', 's', 'e', '\0'
+
+represents the list:
+
+ [ "R99", "0", "1", "close" ]
+
+=over 4
+
+=item request ID
+
+The first element is the request identifier, a string, which is used
+to correlate requests with replies when there are multiple outstanding
+requests in flight.
+
+=item optional binary buffer length
+
+The second element is used to indicate that an optional binary buffer
+follows the list. It is currently non-C<"0"> only in the request
+message of C<"pwrite"> and the reply message of
C<"pread">.
+
+If this element is C<"0">, then the buffer is zero length / not sent,
+else it is the length of the buffer in bytes.
+
+The binary buffer is written to the stream directly following the end
+of the payload. There are no delimiting bytes before or after the
+buffer.
+
+=item payload length
+
+The third element of the list is always the number of elements in the
+payload, encoded as a string.
+
+=item payload
+
+There follow payload length list elements, which contain the request
+or reply.
+
+=item binary buffer
+
+If the second list element is not C<"0"> then immediately after the
+payload a binary buffer of the given length in bytes is sent.
+
+=back
+
+=head3 Security
+
+The third element (payload length) is always in the range
+S<["1"..."64"]>. Individual strings in the list always have
length
+E<le> 4096 bytes (not including the terminating NUL byte). If
+present, the binary buffer has length E<le> 67108864 bytes.
+
+List elements that are meant to be numbers should parse without any
+leading or trailing garbage, and every number in the basic protocol is
+representable as a C C<unsigned>. (Note this does not apply to
+certain request and reply payloads, and there are list elements like
+the request ID which are not numbers at all.)
+
+Messages which do not conform to this indicate a fatal, unrecoverable
+error. The external program should exit. If nbdkit sees the external
+program write a non-conforming message, it will kill the external
+program and any further NBD client requests will receive C<EIO> error.
+
+=head3 Requests
+
+Requests are sent as the list:
+
+ [ request ID, buffer length, payload length, method [, arguments...] ]
+
+The method and arguments (fourth and subsequent elements of the list)
+are the same set of strings that are passed to L<nbdkit-sh-plugin(3)>
+scripts. Examples:
+
+ [ "R1", "0", "3", "config", "size",
"1048576" ]
+ [ "R2", "0", "1", "thread_model" ]
+ [ "R3", "0", "1", "get_ready" ]
+ [ "R4", "0", "4", "open", "false",
"", "true" ]
+ [ "R5", "0", "2", "get_size",
"myhandle" ]
+ [ "R6", "0", "2", "flush", "myhandle"
]
+
+=head3 pwrite request
+
+The C<"pwrite"> request message is special because the second element
+may be non-zero, in which case a binary buffer immediately follows the
+request message (containing the data to be written).
+
+=head3 Replies
+
+Replies are sent as the list:
+
+ [ request ID, buffer length, payload length, exit code [, reply] ]
+
+or for errors:
+
+ [ request ID, buffer length, payload length, "1", [, errno [, error]] ]
+
+The request ID should usually match the identifier of the
+corresponding request (but in some cases can be set to anything, see
+L</Thread models> below). The buffer length is only used in replies
+to C<"pread"> requests, see next section. The exit code should
+correspond to one of the codes in L<nbdkit-sh-plugin(3)/Exit codes>.
+
+There may be an additional list element for some methods. For
+C<"get_size"> it would be the returned size of the disk, encoded as a
+string, in the same formats as supported by L<nbdkit-sh-plugin(3)>.
+
+Examples of replies corresponding to the request messages above:
+
+ [ "R1", "0", "1", "0" ] # reply
to "config"
+ [ "R2", "0", "2", "0",
"serialize_all_requests" ] # "thread_model"
+ [ "R3", "0", "1", "2" ] # reply
to "get_ready"
+ [ "R4", "0", "2", "0", "myhandle" ]
# reply to "open"
+ [ "R5", "0" ,"2", "0", "1048576" ]
# reply to "get_size"
+ [ "R6", "0", "3", "1", "EIO",
"I/O error" ] # reply to "flush"
+
+=head3 pread reply
+
+The reply message associated with an earlier C<"pread"> request is
+special (in the non-error case). The second element of the reply
+message may be non-zero and the reply message is immediately followed
+by a binary buffer (containing the data read).
+
+=head3 Requests that the program does not understand
+
+If a program does not understand a request, it must send a reply with
+exit code 2, ie:
+
+ [ <request ID>, "0", "1", "2" ]
+
+=head3 Thread models
+
+The C<"thread_model"> request message is used by nbdkit to ask the
+program what thread model it supports, and all of the thread model
+strings as described in L<nbdkit-sh-plugin(3)> are supported.
+
+In addition, to make it easier to write external programs that use
+this plugin, if the thread model that you return is
+C<"serialize_connections"> or
C<"serialize_all_requests">, then this
+plugin will operate in a simpler mode.
+
+For C<"serialize_all_requests">:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+There is never more than one request in flight.
+
+=item *
+
+The request-ID element in replies is ignored (so you can put anything
+there).
+
+=back
+
+For C<"serialize_connections">, the above, plus:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+There is only one client, so the handle may be ignored.
+
+=back
+
+This allows you to write external programs which are a simple read
+request + write reply loop that don't have to consider request-IDs or
+deal with parallelism, although they may be slower.
