Wait for remote hosts to resolve instead of failing on first host
resolution error, when running in Kubernetes or Docker environment.
Note that
- Waiting is based on exponential back-off mechanism
- If run as a binary, server fails if remote host is not resolvable
This is needed because in orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, remote
hosts are started sequentially and all the hosts are not up initially,
though they are expected to come up in a short time frame
It is difficult to identify a cap on the waiting time due to
non-deterministic nature of infrastructure platforms, so the server waits
infinitely for the hosts to come up, while logging the error messages to
the console.
Fixes: https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/4669
It is possible at times due to a typo when distributed mode was intended
a user might end up starting standalone erasure mode causing confusion.
Add code to check this based on some standard heuristic guess work and
report an error to the user.
Fixes#4686
