Implement an offline mode for remote storage to cache the
offline status of a node in order to prevent network calls
that are bound to fail. After a time interval an attempt
will be made to restore the connection and mark the node
as online if successful.
Fixes#4183
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.
Currently the auth rpc client defaults to to a maximum
cap of 30seconds timeout. Make this to be configurable
by the caller of authRPCClient during initialization, if no
such config is provided then default to 30 seconds.
* 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.
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 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
