Ref #3229
After review with @abperiasamy we decided to remove all the unnecessary options
- MINIO_BROWSER (Implemented as a security feature but now deemed obsolete
since even if blocking access to MINIO_BROWSER, s3 API port is open)
- MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY (Defaults to 72h)
- MINIO_MAXCONN (No one used this option and we don't test this)
- MINIO_ENABLE_FSMETA (Enable FSMETA all the time)
Remove --ignore-disks option - this option was implemented when XL layer
would initialize the backend disks and heal them automatically to disallow
XL accidentally using the root partition itself this option was introduced.
This behavior has been changed XL no longer automatically initializes
`format.json` a HEAL is controlled activity, so ignore-disks is not
useful anymore. This change also addresses the problems of our documentation
going forward and keeps things simple. This patch brings in reduction of
options and defaulting them to a valid known inputs. This patch also
serves as a guideline of limiting many ways to do the same thing.
For command line arguments we are currently following
- <node-1>:/path ... <node-n>:/path
This patch changes this to
- http://<node-1>/path ... http://<node-n>/path
- Servers do not exit for invalid credentials instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for version mismatch instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for time differences between nodes they print and wait.
These messages based on our prep stage during XL
and prints more informative message regarding
drive information.
This change also does a much needed refactoring.
Current code did not marshal/unmarshal buffers properly from
the server, The reason being buffers have to be allocated and
sent properly back to client to be consumable.
This change initializes rpc servers associated with disks that are
local. It makes object layer initialization on demand, namely on the
first request to the object layer.
Also adds lock RPC service vendorized minio/dsync
AppendFile ensures that it appends the entire buffer. Returns
an error otherwise, this patch removes the necessity for the
caller to look for 'n' return on short writes.
Ref #1893
This patch brings in the removal of debug logging altogether, instead
we bring in the functionality of being able to trace the errors properly
pointing back to the origination of the problem.
To enable tracing you need to enable "MINIO_TRACE" set to "1" or "true"
environment variable which would print back traces whenever there is an
error which is unhandled or at the handler layer.
By default this tracing is turned off and only user level logging is
provided.
