This PR implements an object layer which
combines input erasure sets of XL layers
into a unified namespace.
This object layer extends the existing
erasure coded implementation, it is assumed
in this design that providing > 16 disks is
a static configuration as well i.e if you started
the setup with 32 disks with 4 sets 8 disks per
pack then you would need to provide 4 sets always.
Some design details and restrictions:
- Objects are distributed using consistent ordering
to a unique erasure coded layer.
- Each pack has its own dsync so locks are synchronized
properly at pack (erasure layer).
- Each pack still has a maximum of 16 disks
requirement, you can start with multiple
such sets statically.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic expansion allowed.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic removal allowed.
- ListObjects() across sets can be noticeably
slower since List happens on all servers,
and is merged at this sets layer.

- Changes related to moving admin APIs
- admin APIs now have an endpoint under /minio/admin
- admin APIs are now versioned - a new API to server the version is
added at "GET /minio/admin/version" and all API operations have the
path prefix /minio/admin/v1/<operation>
- new service stop API added
- credentials change API is moved to /minio/admin/v1/config/credential
- credentials change API and configuration get/set API now require TLS
so that credentials are protected
- all API requests now receive JSON
- heal APIs are disabled as they will be changed substantially
- Heal API changes
Heal API is now provided at a single endpoint with the ability for a
client to start a heal sequence on all the data in the server, a
single bucket, or under a prefix within a bucket.
When a heal sequence is started, the server returns a unique token
that needs to be used for subsequent 'status' requests to fetch heal
results.
On each status request from the client, the server returns heal result
records that it has accumulated since the previous status request. The
server accumulates upto 1000 records and pauses healing further
objects until the client requests for status. If the client does not
request any further records for a long time, the server aborts the
heal sequence automatically.
A heal result record is returned for each entity healed on the server,
such as system metadata, object metadata, buckets and objects, and has
information about the before and after states on each disk.
A client may request to force restart a heal sequence - this causes
the running heal sequence to be aborted at the next safe spot and
starts a new heal sequence.
This PR handles following situations
- secure endpoints provided, server should fail to start
if TLS is not configured
- insecure endpoints provided, server starts ignoring
if TLS is configured or not.
Fixes#5251
On windows having a preceding "/" will cause problems, if the
command line already has C:/<export-folder/ in it. Final resulting
path on windows might become C:/C:/ this will cause problems
of starting minio server properly in distributed mode on windows.
As a special case make sure to trim off the separator.
NOTE: It is also perfectly fine for windows users to have a path
without C:/ since at that point we treat it as relative path
and obtain the full filesystem path as well. Providing C:/
style is necessary to provide paths other than C:/,
such as F:/, D:/ etc.
Another additional benefit here is that this style also
supports providing UNC paths as well.
Fixes#5136
It is possible at times due to a typo when distributed mode was intended
a user might end up starting standalone erasure mode causing confusion.
Add code to check this based on some standard heuristic guess work and
report an error to the user.
