This PR implements an object layer which
combines input erasure sets of XL layers
into a unified namespace.
This object layer extends the existing
erasure coded implementation, it is assumed
in this design that providing > 16 disks is
a static configuration as well i.e if you started
the setup with 32 disks with 4 sets 8 disks per
pack then you would need to provide 4 sets always.
Some design details and restrictions:
- Objects are distributed using consistent ordering
to a unique erasure coded layer.
- Each pack has its own dsync so locks are synchronized
properly at pack (erasure layer).
- Each pack still has a maximum of 16 disks
requirement, you can start with multiple
such sets statically.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic expansion allowed.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic removal allowed.
- ListObjects() across sets can be noticeably
slower since List happens on all servers,
and is merged at this sets layer.

- Changes related to moving admin APIs
- admin APIs now have an endpoint under /minio/admin
- admin APIs are now versioned - a new API to server the version is
added at "GET /minio/admin/version" and all API operations have the
path prefix /minio/admin/v1/<operation>
- new service stop API added
- credentials change API is moved to /minio/admin/v1/config/credential
- credentials change API and configuration get/set API now require TLS
so that credentials are protected
- all API requests now receive JSON
- heal APIs are disabled as they will be changed substantially
- Heal API changes
Heal API is now provided at a single endpoint with the ability for a
client to start a heal sequence on all the data in the server, a
single bucket, or under a prefix within a bucket.
When a heal sequence is started, the server returns a unique token
that needs to be used for subsequent 'status' requests to fetch heal
results.
On each status request from the client, the server returns heal result
records that it has accumulated since the previous status request. The
server accumulates upto 1000 records and pauses healing further
objects until the client requests for status. If the client does not
request any further records for a long time, the server aborts the
heal sequence automatically.
A heal result record is returned for each entity healed on the server,
such as system metadata, object metadata, buckets and objects, and has
information about the before and after states on each disk.
A client may request to force restart a heal sequence - this causes
the running heal sequence to be aborted at the next safe spot and
starts a new heal sequence.
After the addition of Storage Class support, readQuorum
and writeQuorum are decided on a per object basis, instead
of deployment wide static quorums.
This PR updates madmin api to remove readQuorum/writeQuorum
and add Standard storage class and reduced redundancy storage
class parity as return values. Since these parity values are
used to decide the quorum for each object.
