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 as explained by @krisis
Lets say we have following errors.
```
[]error{nil, errFileNotFound, errDiskAccessDenied, errDiskAccesDenied}
```
Since the last two errors are filtered, the maximum is nil,
depending on map order.
Let's say we get nil from reduceErr. Clearly at this point
we don't have quorum nodes agreeing about the data and since
GetObject only requires N/2 (Read quorum) and isDiskQuorum
would have returned true. This is problematic and can lead to
undersiable consequences.
Fixes#3298
Currently `xl.json` saves algorithm information for bit-rot
verification. Since the bit-rot algo's can change in the
future make sure the erasureReadFile doesn't default to
a particular algo. Instead use the checkSumInfo.
* unit-tests: Unit tests for erasureCreateFile and erasureReadFile.
* appendFile() should return errXLWriteQuorum.
* TestErasureReadFileOffsetLength() tests erasureReadFile() for different offset and lengths.
* Fix for the failure seen in the erasure read unit test case. Issue #2227
* Move common erasure setup code to newErasureTestSetup()
* Review fixes. Add few more test cases for erasureReadFile.
* XL: Refactor of xl.PutObjectPart and erasureCreateFile.
* GetCheckSum and AddCheckSum methods for xlMetaV1
* Simple unit test case for erasureCreateFile()
Change brings in a new signVerifyReader which provides a io.Reader
compatible reader, additionally implements Verify() function.
Verify() function validates the signature present in the incoming
request. This approach is choosen to avoid complexities involved
in using io.Pipe().
Thanks to Krishna for his inputs on this.

This is needed so that we only write data which was requested
for, using a limit reader avoids spurious reads on the incoming
client data. Additionally using limit reader provides server
safety from rogue clients sending copious amounts of data (for
example a denial of service attack).
This patch also caters for size == -1 when content encoding from
a client is set as chunked, we happily read till io.EOF
AppendFile ensures that it appends the entire buffer. Returns
an error otherwise, this patch removes the necessity for the
caller to look for 'n' return on short writes.
Ref #1893
Strided erasure distribution uses a new randomized
block distribution for each Put operation. This
information is captured inside `xl.json` for subsequent
Get operations.
