No locks are ever left in memory, we also
have a periodic interval of clearing stale locks
anyways. The lock instrumentation was not complete
and was seldom used.
Deprecate this for now and bring it back later if
it is really needed. This also in-turn seems to improve
performance slightly.
Added support for new RPC support using HTTP POST. RPC's
arguments and reply are Gob encoded and sent as HTTP
request/response body.
This patch also removes Go RPC based implementation.
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.

Following is a sample list lock API request schematic,
/?lock&bucket=mybucket&prefix=myprefix&duration=holdDuration
x-minio-operation: list
The response would contain the list of locks held on mybucket matching
myprefix for a duration longer than holdDuration.
* Filter lock info based on bucket, prefix and time since lock was held
* Implement list and clear locks REST API
* madmin: Add list and clear locks API
* locks: Clear locks matching bucket, prefix, relTime.
* Gather lock information across nodes for both list and clear locks admin REST API.
* docs: Add lock API to management APIs
