This is an optimization by reducing one extra system call,
and many network operations. This reduction should increase
the performance for small file workloads.
Current implementation requires server pools to have
same erasure stripe sizes, to facilitate same SLA
and expectations.
This PR allows server pools to be variadic, i.e they
do not have to be same erasure stripe sizes - instead
they should have SLA for parity ratio.
If the parity ratio cannot be guaranteed by the new
server pool, the deployment is rejected i.e server
pool expansion is not allowed.
This PR refactors the way we use buffers for O_DIRECT and
to re-use those buffers for messagepack reader writer.
After some extensive benchmarking found that not all objects
have this benefit, and only objects smaller than 64KiB see
this benefit overall.
Benefits are seen from almost all objects from
1KiB - 32KiB
Beyond this no objects see benefit with bulk call approach
as the latency of bytes sent over the wire v/s streaming
content directly from disk negate each other with no
remarkable benefits.
All other optimizations include reuse of msgp.Reader,
msgp.Writer using sync.Pool's for all internode calls.
The only purpose of check-dir flag in
ReadVersion is to return 404 when
an object has xl.meta but without data.
This is causing an extract call to the disk
which can be penalizing in case of busy system
where disks receive many concurrent access.
dangling objects when removed `mc admin heal -r` or crawler
auto heal would incorrectly return error - this can interfere
with usage calculation as the entry size for this would be
returned as `0`, instead upon success use the resultant
object size to calculate the final size for the object
and avoid reporting this in the log messages
Also do not set ObjectSize in healResultItem to be '-1'
this has an effect on crawler metrics calculating 1 byte
less for objects which seem to be missing their `xl.meta`
With reduced parity our write quorum should be same
as read quorum, but code was still assuming
```
readQuorum+1
```
In all situations which is not necessary.
- Implement a new xl.json 2.0.0 format to support,
this moves the entire marshaling logic to POSIX
layer, top layer always consumes a common FileInfo
construct which simplifies the metadata reads.
- Implement list object versions
- Migrate to siphash from crchash for new deployments
for object placements.
