This is an enhancement to the XL/distributed-XL mode. FS mode is
unaffected.
The ReadFileWithVerify storage-layer call is similar to ReadFile with
the additional functionality of performing bit-rot checking. It
accepts additional parameters for a hashing algorithm to use and the
expected hex-encoded hash string.
This patch provides significant performance improvement because:
1. combines the step of reading the file (during
erasure-decoding/reconstruction) with bit-rot verification;
2. limits the number of file-reads; and
3. avoids transferring the file over the network for bit-rot
verification.
ReadFile API is implemented as ReadFileWithVerify with empty hashing
arguments.
Credits to AB and Harsha for the algorithmic improvement.
Fixes#4236.
Make sure to skip reserved bucket names in `ListBuckets()`
current code didn't skip this properly and also generalize
this behavior for both XL and FS.
This restriction has lots of side affects, since
we do not have a mechanism to clear states like
this it is better not to keep them.
Network errors are common and can occur with
simple cable removal etc. Since we already have
a retry mechanism this error count and stateful
nature can bring problems on a long running
cluster.
* Rename GenericArgs to AuthRPCArgs
* Rename GenericReply to AuthRPCReply
* Remove authConfig.loginMethod and add authConfig.ServiceName
* Rename loginServer to AuthRPCServer
* Rename RPCLoginArgs to LoginRPCArgs
* Rename RPCLoginReply to LoginRPCReply
* Version and RequestTime are added to LoginRPCArgs and verified by
server side, not client side.
* Fix data race in lockMaintainence loop.
This patch uses a technique where in a retryable storage
before object layer initialization has a higher delay
and waits for longer period upto 4 times with time unit
of seconds.
And uses another set of configuration after the disks
have been formatted, i.e use a lower retry backoff rate
and retrying only once per 5 millisecond.
Network IO error count is reduced to a lower value i.e 256
before we reject the disk completely. This is done so that
combination of retry logic and total error count roughly
come to around 2.5secs which is when we basically take the
disk offline completely.
NOTE: This patch doesn't fix the issue of what if the disk
is completely dead and comes back again after the initialization.
Such a mutating state requires a change in our startup sequence
which will be done subsequently. This is an interim fix to alleviate
users from these issues.
Implement a storage rpc specific rpc client,
which does not reconnect unnecessarily.
Instead reconnect is handled at a different
layer for storage alone.
Rest of the calls using AuthRPC automatically
reconnect, i.e upon an error equal to `rpc.ErrShutdown`
they dial again and call the requested method again.
Attempt a reconnect also if disk not found.
This is needed since any network operation error
is converted to disk not found but we also need
to make sure if disk is really not available.
Additionally we also need to retry more than
once because the server might be in startup
sequence which would render other servers to
wrongly think that the server is offline.
This change brings in changes at multiple places
- Reuse buffers at almost all locations ranging
from rpc, fs, xl, checksum etc.
- Change caching behavior to disable itself
under low memory conditions i.e < 8GB of RAM.
- Only objects cached are of size 1/10th the size
of the cache for example if 4GB is the cache size
the maximum object size which will be cached
is going to be 400MB. This change is an
optimization to cache more objects rather
than few larger objects.
- If object cache is enabled default GC
percent has been reduced to 20% in lieu
with newly found behavior of GC. If the cache
utilization reaches 75% of the maximum value
GC percent is reduced to 10% to make GC
more aggressive.
- Do not use *bytes.Buffer* due to its growth
requirements. For every allocation *bytes.Buffer*
allocates an additional buffer for its internal
purposes. This is undesirable for us, so
implemented a new cappedWriter which is capped to a
desired size, beyond this all writes rejected.
Possible fix for #3403.
This is needed to validate if the `format.json` indeed exists
when a fresh node is brought online.
This wrapped implementation also connects to the remote node
by attempting a re-login. Subsequently after a successful
connect `format.json` is validated as well.
Fixes#3207
In a situation when we have lots of buckets the bootup time
might have slowed down a bit but during this situation the
servers quickly going up and down would be an in-transit state.
Certain calls which do not use quorum like `readXLMetaStat`
might return an error saying `errDiskNotFound` this is returned
in place of expected `errFileNotFound` which leads to an issue
where server doesn't start.
To avoid this situation we need to ignore them as safe values
to be ignored, for the most part these are network related errors.
Fixes#3275
For command line arguments we are currently following
- <node-1>:/path ... <node-n>:/path
This patch changes this to
- http://<node-1>/path ... http://<node-n>/path
- Servers do not exit for invalid credentials instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for version mismatch instead they print and wait.
- Servers do not exit for time differences between nodes they print and wait.
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.
Initialization when disk was down the network disk
reported an incorrect error rather than errDiskNotFound.
This resulted in incorrect error handling during
prepInitStorage() stage.
Fixes#2577
Current code did not marshal/unmarshal buffers properly from
the server, The reason being buffers have to be allocated and
sent properly back to client to be consumable.
