This PR adds disk based edge caching support for minio server.
Cache settings can be configured in config.json to take list of disk drives,
cache expiry in days and file patterns to exclude from cache or via environment
variables MINIO_CACHE_DRIVES, MINIO_CACHE_EXCLUDE and MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY
Design assumes that Atime support is enabled and the list of cache drives is
fixed.
- Objects are cached on both GET and PUT/POST operations.
- Expiry is used as hint to evict older entries from cache, or if 80% of cache
capacity is filled.
- When object storage backend is down, GET, LIST and HEAD operations fetch
object seamlessly from cache.
Current Limitations
- Bucket policies are not cached, so anonymous operations are not supported in
offline mode.
- Objects are distributed using deterministic hashing among list of cache
drives specified.If one or more drives go offline, or cache drive
configuration is altered - performance could degrade to linear lookup.
Fixes#4026
Refactor such that metadata and etag are
combined to a single argument `srcInfo`.
This is a precursor change for #5544 making
it easier for us to provide encryption/decryption
functions.
- Use it to send the Content-MD5 header correctly encoded to S3
Gateway
- Fixes a bug in PutObject (including anonymous PutObject) and
PutObjectPart with S3 Gateway found when testing with Mint.
This PR allows 'minio update' to not only shows update banner
but also allows for in-place upgrades.
Updates are done safely by validating the downloaded
sha256 of the binary.
Fixes#4781
