Ref #3229
After review with @abperiasamy we decided to remove all the unnecessary options
- MINIO_BROWSER (Implemented as a security feature but now deemed obsolete
since even if blocking access to MINIO_BROWSER, s3 API port is open)
- MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY (Defaults to 72h)
- MINIO_MAXCONN (No one used this option and we don't test this)
- MINIO_ENABLE_FSMETA (Enable FSMETA all the time)
Remove --ignore-disks option - this option was implemented when XL layer
would initialize the backend disks and heal them automatically to disallow
XL accidentally using the root partition itself this option was introduced.
This behavior has been changed XL no longer automatically initializes
`format.json` a HEAL is controlled activity, so ignore-disks is not
useful anymore. This change also addresses the problems of our documentation
going forward and keeps things simple. This patch brings in reduction of
options and defaulting them to a valid known inputs. This patch also
serves as a guideline of limiting many ways to do the same thing.
- abstract out instrumentation information.
- use separate lockInstance type that encapsulates the nsMutex, volume,
path and opsID as the frontend or top-level lock object.
- Reads and writes of uploads.json in XL now uses quorum for
newMultipart, completeMultipart and abortMultipart operations.
- Each disk's `uploads.json` file is read and updated independently for
adding or removing an upload id from the file. Quorum is used to
decide if the high-level operation actually succeeded.
- Refactor FS code to simplify the flow, and fix a bug while reading
uploads.json.
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.
- Instrumentation for locks.
- Detailed test coverage.
- Adding RPC control handler to fetch lock instrumentation.
- RPC control handlers suite tests with a test RPC server.
CBL client does not close connection when the backup process is stopped, this causes
read() on the stream on the server side to block and hence the lock held on the part
is not released. When the backup process is restarted, we again try to lock on the
part and this will block. Using a unique tmp name and not locking it fixes the problem.
