This will allow the cache to consistently work for
server and gateways. Range GET requests will
be cached in the background after the request
is served from the backend.
- All cached content is automatically bitrot protected.
- Avoid ETag verification if a cache-control header
is set and the cached content is still valid.
- This PR changes the cache backend format, and all existing
content will be migrated to the new format. Until the data is
migrated completely, all content will be served from the backend.
This will allow cache to consistently work for
server and gateways. Range GET requests will
be cached in the background after the request
is served from the backend.

- with recent commit 1fb2e9ef95, config
can no longer be updated by editing config.json. This is because config
has been migrated inside the minio backend. Update documentation on
how to set/get configuration using mc admin config command.
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.
