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 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.
Attempt a reconnect also if disk not found.
This is needed since any network operation error
is converted to disk not found but we also need
to make sure if disk is really not available.
Additionally we also need to retry more than
once because the server might be in startup
sequence which would render other servers to
wrongly think that the server is offline.
This is needed to validate if the `format.json` indeed exists
when a fresh node is brought online.
This wrapped implementation also connects to the remote node
by attempting a re-login. Subsequently after a successful
connect `format.json` is validated as well.
Fixes#3207
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
- Servers do not exit for invalid credentials instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for version mismatch instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for time differences between nodes they print and wait.
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.
