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.
Disks when are offline for a long period of time, we should
ignore the disk after trying Login upto 5 times.
This is to reduce the network chattiness, this also reduces
the overall time spent on `net.Dial`.
Fixes#3286
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.
This change initializes rpc servers associated with disks that are
local. It makes object layer initialization on demand, namely on the
first request to the object layer.
Also adds lock RPC service vendorized minio/dsync
Fixes#1636
New format now generates a UUID and includes it along with
the order of disks. So that UUID is the real order of disks
and on command line user is able to specify disks in any order.
This pre-dominantly solves our dilemma.
```
{
"format" : "xl",
"xl" : {
"version" : "1",

Signature calculation has now moved out from being a package to
top-level as a layered mechanism.
In case of payload calculation with body, go-routines are initiated
to simultaneously write and calculate shasum. Errors are sent
over the writer so that the lower layer removes the temporary files
properly.
