xl.storageDisks is sometimes passed to some low-level XL functions. Some disks in
xl.storageDisks are set to nil when they encounter some errors. This means all
elements in xl.storageDisks will be nil after some time which lead to an unusable XL.
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 PR is for readability cleanup
- getOrderedDisks as shuffleDisks
- getOrderedPartsMetadata as shufflePartsMetadata
Distribution is now a second argument instead being the
primary input argument for brevity.
Also change the usage of type casted int64(0), instead
rely on direct type reference as `var variable int64` everywhere.
Ref #3229
After review with @abperiasamy we decided to remove all the unnecessary options
- MINIO_BROWSER (Implemented as a security feature but now deemed obsolete
since even if blocking access to MINIO_BROWSER, s3 API port is open)
- MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY (Defaults to 72h)
- MINIO_MAXCONN (No one used this option and we don't test this)
- MINIO_ENABLE_FSMETA (Enable FSMETA all the time)
Remove --ignore-disks option - this option was implemented when XL layer
would initialize the backend disks and heal them automatically to disallow
XL accidentally using the root partition itself this option was introduced.
This behavior has been changed XL no longer automatically initializes
`format.json` a HEAL is controlled activity, so ignore-disks is not
useful anymore. This change also addresses the problems of our documentation
going forward and keeps things simple. This patch brings in reduction of
options and defaulting them to a valid known inputs. This patch also
serves as a guideline of limiting many ways to do the same thing.
For command line arguments we are currently following
- <node-1>:/path ... <node-n>:/path
This patch changes this to
- http://<node-1>/path ... http://<node-n>/path
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.
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.
* XL/erasure-read: optimize memory allocation during erasure-read by using temporary buffer pool.
With the change the buffer needed during GetObject by erasureReadFile is allocated only once.
* 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()
