This PR brings semver capabilities in our RPC layer to
ensure that we can upgrade the servers in rolling fashion
while keeping I/O in progress. This is only a framework change
the functionality remains the same as such and we do not
have any special API changes for now. But in future when
we bring in API changes we will be able to upgrade servers
without a downtime.
Additional change in this PR is to not abort when serverVersions
mismatch in a distributed cluster, instead wait for the quorum
treat the situation as if the server is down. This allows
for administrator to properly upgrade all the servers in the cluster.
Fixes#5393
This fix removes logrus package dependency and refactors the console
logging as the only logging mechanism by removing file logging support.
It rearranges the log message format and adds stack trace information
whenever trace information is not available in the error structure.
It also adds `--json` flag support for server logging.
When minio server is started with `--json` flag, all log messages are
displayed in json format, with no start-up and informational log
messages.
Fixes#5265#5220#5197
When servers are started simultaneously across multiple
nodes or simulating a local setup, it can happen such
that one of the servers in setup reaches a following
situation where it observes
- Some servers are formatted
- Some servers are unformatted
- Some servers are offline
Current state machine doesn't handle this correctly, to fix
this situation where we have unformatted, formatted and
disks offline we do not decisively know the course of
action. So we wait for the offline disks to change their state.
Once the offline disks change their state to either one of these
states we can decisively move forward.
- nil (formatted disk)
- errUnformattedDisk
- Or any other error such as errCorruptedDisk.
Fixes#4903
Implement an offline mode for remote storage to cache the
offline status of a node in order to prevent network calls
that are bound to fail. After a time interval an attempt
will be made to restore the connection and mark the node
as online if successful.
Fixes#4183
Current state-machine didn't honor a situation
which can arise when there is a combination of
- formatted
- unformatted
- corrupted
disks - this combination invariably goes into a
mode where all servers are waiting perpetually
forever thinking we will get quorum in future.
At this point there is a distant possibility of
ever getting a quorum since we don't even have
quorum number of disks offline.
We should exit and print a proper message per disk
to indicate what went wrong and what was detected
by the server.

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.
Currently the auth rpc client defaults to to a maximum
cap of 30seconds timeout. Make this to be configurable
by the caller of authRPCClient during initialization, if no
such config is provided then default to 30 seconds.
This patch uses a technique where in a retryable storage
before object layer initialization has a higher delay
and waits for longer period upto 4 times with time unit
of seconds.
And uses another set of configuration after the disks
have been formatted, i.e use a lower retry backoff rate
and retrying only once per 5 millisecond.
Network IO error count is reduced to a lower value i.e 256
before we reject the disk completely. This is done so that
combination of retry logic and total error count roughly
come to around 2.5secs which is when we basically take the
disk offline completely.
NOTE: This patch doesn't fix the issue of what if the disk
is completely dead and comes back again after the initialization.
Such a mutating state requires a change in our startup sequence
which will be done subsequently. This is an interim fix to alleviate
users from these issues.
There was an error in how we validated disk formats,
if one of the disk was formatted and was formatted with
FS would cause confusion and object layer would never
initialize essentially go into an infinite loop.
Validate pre-emptively and also check for FS format
properly.
This change brings in changes at multiple places
- Reuse buffers at almost all locations ranging
from rpc, fs, xl, checksum etc.
- Change caching behavior to disable itself
under low memory conditions i.e < 8GB of RAM.
- Only objects cached are of size 1/10th the size
of the cache for example if 4GB is the cache size
the maximum object size which will be cached
is going to be 400MB. This change is an
optimization to cache more objects rather
than few larger objects.
- If object cache is enabled default GC
percent has been reduced to 20% in lieu
with newly found behavior of GC. If the cache
utilization reaches 75% of the maximum value
GC percent is reduced to 10% to make GC
more aggressive.
- Do not use *bytes.Buffer* due to its growth
requirements. For every allocation *bytes.Buffer*
allocates an additional buffer for its internal
purposes. This is undesirable for us, so
implemented a new cappedWriter which is capped to a
desired size, beyond this all writes rejected.
Possible fix for #3403.
This is needed to validate if the `format.json` indeed exists
when a fresh node is brought online.
This wrapped implementation also connects to the remote node
by attempting a re-login. Subsequently after a successful
connect `format.json` is validated as well.
Fixes#3207
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.
* Add unit-tests for formatting disks during initialization
- Fixed corresponding code at places where it was deviating from the
tabular spec.
* Added more test cases and simplified algo
... based on feedback from ``go test -coverprofile``.
- Fix distributed branch to be able to run FS version.
- Fix distributed branch to be able to run XL local disks.
- Ignore initialization failures of notification and bucket
policies, the codepath should load whatever is possible.
Initialization when disk was down the network disk
reported an incorrect error rather than errDiskNotFound.
This resulted in incorrect error handling during
prepInitStorage() stage.
