- Data from disk was being read after bitrot verification to return
data for GetObject. Strictly speaking this does not guarantee bitrot
protection, as disks may return bad data even temporarily.
- This fix reads data from disk, verifies data for bitrot and then
returns data to the client directly.
This PR implements an object layer which
combines input erasure sets of XL layers
into a unified namespace.
This object layer extends the existing
erasure coded implementation, it is assumed
in this design that providing > 16 disks is
a static configuration as well i.e if you started
the setup with 32 disks with 4 sets 8 disks per
pack then you would need to provide 4 sets always.
Some design details and restrictions:
- Objects are distributed using consistent ordering
to a unique erasure coded layer.
- Each pack has its own dsync so locks are synchronized
properly at pack (erasure layer).
- Each pack still has a maximum of 16 disks
requirement, you can start with multiple
such sets statically.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic expansion allowed.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic removal allowed.
- ListObjects() across sets can be noticeably
slower since List happens on all servers,
and is merged at this sets layer.

It can happen that an incoming PutObject() request might
have inputs of following form eg:-
- bucketName is 'testbucket'
- objectName is '/'
bucketName exists and was previously created but there
are no other objects in this bucket. In a situation like
this parentDirIsObject() goes into an infinite loop.
Verifying that if '/' is an object fails on both backends
but the resulting `path.Dir('/')` returns `'/'` this causes
the closure to loop onto itself.
