This change provides new implementations of the XL backend operations:
- create file
- read file
- heal file
Further this change adds table based tests for all three operations.
This affects also the bitrot algorithm integration. Algorithms are now
integrated in an idiomatic way (like crypto.Hash).
Fixes#4696Fixes#4649Fixes#4359
* Prevent unnecessary verification of parity blocks while reading erasure
coded file.
* Update klauspost/reedsolomon and just only reconstruct data blocks while
reading (prevent unnecessary parity block reconstruction)
* Remove Verification of (all) reconstructed Data and Parity blocks since
in our case we are protected by bit rot protection. And even if the
verification would fail (essentially impossible) there is no way to
definitively say whether the data is still correct or not, so this call
make no sense for our use case.
xl.storageDisks is sometimes passed to some low-level XL functions. Some disks in
xl.storageDisks are set to nil when they encounter some errors. This means all
elements in xl.storageDisks will be nil after some time which lead to an unusable XL.
