This is an effort to remove panic from the source.
Add a new call called CriticialIf, that calls LogIf and exits.
Replace panics with one of CriticalIf, FatalIf and a return of error.
This is a generic minimum value. The current reason is to support
Azure blob storage accounts name whose length is less than 5. 3 is the
minimum length for Azure.
Bcrypt is not neccessary and not used properly. This change
replace the whole bcrypt hash computation through a constant time
compare and removes bcrypt from the code base.
Current code allowed it wrongly to generate secret key upto 100
we should only use 100 as a value to validate but for generating
it should be 40.
Fixes#4470
This patch fixes below
* Previously fatalIf() never writes log other than first logging target.
* quiet flag is not honored to show progress messages other than startup messages.
* Removes console package usage for progress messages.
Also changes the behavior of `secretKeyHash` which is
not necessary to be sent over the network, each node
has its own secretKeyHash to validate.
Fixes#3696
Partial(fix) #3700 (More changes needed with some code cleanup)
Creds don't require secretKeyHash to be calculated
everytime, cache it instead and re-use.
This is an optimization for bcrypt.
Relevant results from the benchmark done locally, negative
value means improvement in this scenario.
