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.
