Different gateway implementations due to different backend
API errors, might return different unsupported errors at
our handler layer. Current code posed a problem for us because
this information was lost and we would convert it to InternalError
in this situation all S3 clients end up retrying the request.
To avoid this unexpected situation implement a way to support
this cleanly such that the underlying information is not lost
which is returned by gateway.
This PR adds disk based edge caching support for minio server.
Cache settings can be configured in config.json to take list of disk drives,
cache expiry in days and file patterns to exclude from cache or via environment
variables MINIO_CACHE_DRIVES, MINIO_CACHE_EXCLUDE and MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY
Design assumes that Atime support is enabled and the list of cache drives is
fixed.
- Objects are cached on both GET and PUT/POST operations.
- Expiry is used as hint to evict older entries from cache, or if 80% of cache
capacity is filled.
- When object storage backend is down, GET, LIST and HEAD operations fetch
object seamlessly from cache.
Current Limitations
- Bucket policies are not cached, so anonymous operations are not supported in
offline mode.
- Objects are distributed using deterministic hashing among list of cache
drives specified.If one or more drives go offline, or cache drive
configuration is altered - performance could degrade to linear lookup.
Fixes#4026
This PR also does backend format change to 1.0.1
from 1.0.0. Backward compatible changes are still
kept to read the 'md5Sum' key. But all new objects
will be stored with the same details under 'etag'.
Fixes#4312
Golang HTTP client automatically detects content-type but
for S3 clients this content-type might be incorrect or
might misbehave.
For example:
```
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
```
Should be
```
Content-Type: application/xml
```
Allow this to be set properly.
