This change introduces a
SphereChannel
, which enables us to execute read-only and read-write streams of work on spheres concurrently or in parallel. Standard race condition considerations apply: if you intersperse reads and parallel writes, the values that are read will be subject to race results (for example).Although the mutable and immutable sides of the channel do not block each other, it's still possible for immutable reads to reach out to the network (which means any given immutable read may take a beat to finish, subject to network conditions).
