This combines calling GetObjectInfo and GetObject while returning a
io.ReadCloser for the object's body. This allows the two operations to
be under a single lock, fixing a race between getting object info and
reading the object body.
Continuing from PR 157ed65c35
Our posix.go implementation did not handle I/O errors
properly on the disks, this led to situations where
top-level callers such as ListObjects might return early
without even verifying all the available disks.
This commit tries to address this in Kubernetes, drbd/nbd based
persistent volumes which can disconnect under load and
result in the situations with disks return I/O errors.
This commit also simplifies listing operation, listing
never returns any error. We can avoid this since we pretty
much ignore most of the errors anyways. When objects are
accessed directly we return proper errors.
Better support of HEAD and listing of zero sized objects with trailing
slash (a.k.a empty directory). For that, isLeafDir function is added
to indicate if the specified object is an empty directory or not. Each
backend (xl, fs) has the responsibility to store that information.
Currently, in both of XL & FS, an empty directory is represented by
an empty directory in the backend.
isLeafDir() checks if the given path is an empty directory or not,
since dir listing is costly if the latter contains too many objects,
readDirN() is added in this PR to list only N number of entries.
In isLeadDir(), we will only list one entry to check if a directory
is empty or not.
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.
