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
Such that in a situation where all errors were
ignored we need to reduce the errors using
readQuorum to get a consistent error value.
Without this change errors generated will
never be consistent with for an expected scenario.
For example in a 6 disk setup 1 disk is missing
and 5 do not have the volume (testbucket)
Without this change Stat() would result in different
errors depending on which disk died. Can cause
confusion to S3 client application.
This change addresses need to track type of
errors we ignored and bring readQuorum to
choose the maximally occuring as the value
of truth.
This is to comply with S3 behavior, we previously removed
reading `fs.json` for optimization reasons but we have a
reason to believe that providing ETag and using gjson
provides needed benefit of not having to deal with
unmarshalling overhead of golang stdlib.
Fixes#4028
This is a consolidation effort, avoiding usage
of naked strings in codebase. Whenever possible
use constants which can be repurposed elsewhere.
This also fixes `goconst ./...` reported issues.
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.
