This is an enhancement to the XL/distributed-XL mode. FS mode is
unaffected.
The ReadFileWithVerify storage-layer call is similar to ReadFile with
the additional functionality of performing bit-rot checking. It
accepts additional parameters for a hashing algorithm to use and the
expected hex-encoded hash string.
This patch provides significant performance improvement because:
1. combines the step of reading the file (during
erasure-decoding/reconstruction) with bit-rot verification;
2. limits the number of file-reads; and
3. avoids transferring the file over the network for bit-rot
verification.
ReadFile API is implemented as ReadFileWithVerify with empty hashing
arguments.
Credits to AB and Harsha for the algorithmic improvement.
Fixes#4236.
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
In a distributed setup that the server should not perform any operation
on the storage layer after it is exported via RPC. e.g, cleaning up of
temporary directories under .minio.sys/tmp may interfere with ongoing
PUT objects being served by the distributed setup.
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.
