The reason is any function relying on `getLoadBalancedQuorumDisks`
cannot possibly have an idempotent behavior.
The problem comes from given a set of N disks returning just a
shuffled N/2 disks. In case of a scenario where we have N/2
number of failed disks, the returned value of `getLoadBalancedQuorumDisks`
is not equal to the same failed disks so essentially calls using such
disks might succeed or fail randomly at different intervals in time.
This proposal change is we move to `getLoadBalancedDisks()`
and use the shuffled N disks as a whole. Since most of the time we might
hit a good disk since we are not reducing our solution space. This
also provides consistent behavior for all the functions which rely
on shuffled disks.
Fixes#2242
* images: Move screenshot for docs inside docs/screenshots directory. Use optimized images.
* images: This fix optimizes the images for the Erasure Code Quick Start Guide
* unit-tests: Unit tests for erasureCreateFile and erasureReadFile.
* appendFile() should return errXLWriteQuorum.
* TestErasureReadFileOffsetLength() tests erasureReadFile() for different offset and lengths.
* Fix for the failure seen in the erasure read unit test case. Issue #2227
* Move common erasure setup code to newErasureTestSetup()
* Review fixes. Add few more test cases for erasureReadFile.
In current master ListObjectsV2 was merged into ListObjectsHandler
which also implements V1 API as well.
Move the detection of ListObject types to its rightful place
in http router.
* XL: Refactor xl.GetObject and erasureReadFile. erasureReadFile() responsible for just erasure coding, it takes ordered disks and checkSum slice.
* move getOrderedPartsMetadata and getOrderedDisks to xl-v1-utils.go
* Review fixes.
* doc:README.md/Updated to sync with docs.minio.io
* doc:README.me/Modified the minio server output terminal to reflect new release changes.
* docs:README.md/Modified and changed location of other markdown files.
* XL: Refactor of xl.PutObjectPart and erasureCreateFile.
* GetCheckSum and AddCheckSum methods for xlMetaV1
* Simple unit test case for erasureCreateFile()
This change is needed to make reading from objects future proof
in-terms of handling online disks. Our current counter is not
based on affirmative knowledge and relies on arithmetic sequence
which can lead to bugs.
Using modTime simplifies the understanding of `xl.json` and future
tooling / debugging of the format.
