In cases where a cluster is degraded, we do not uphold our consistency
guarantee and we will write fewer erasure codes and rely on healing
to recreate the missing shards.
In some cases replacing known bad disks in practice take days.
We want to change the behavior of a known degraded system to keep
the erasure code promise of the storage class for each object.
This will create the objects with the same confidence as a fully
functional cluster. The tradeoff will be that objects created
during a partial outage will take up slightly more space.
This means that when the storage class is EC:4, there should
always be written 4 parity shards, even if some disks are unavailable.
When an object is created on a set, the disks are immediately
checked. If any disks are unavailable additional parity shards
will be made for each offline disk, up to 50% of the number of disks.
We add an internal metadata field with the actual and intended
erasure code level, this can optionally be picked up later by
the scanner if we decide that data like this should be re-sharded.
This PR fixes two bugs
- Remove fi.Data upon overwrite of objects from inlined-data to non-inlined-data
- Workaround for an existing bug on disk with latest releases to ignore fi.Data
and instead read from the disk for non-inlined-data
- Addtionally add a reserved metadata header to indicate data is inlined for
a given version.
- GetObject() should always use a common dataDir to
read from when it starts reading, this allows the
code in erasure decoding to have sane expectations.
- Healing should always heal on the common dataDir, this
allows the code in dangling object detection to purge
dangling content.
These both situations can happen under certain types of
retries during PUT when server is restarting etc, some
namespace entries might be left over.
This is an optimization by reducing one extra system call,
and many network operations. This reduction should increase
the performance for small file workloads.
Current implementation requires server pools to have
same erasure stripe sizes, to facilitate same SLA
and expectations.
This PR allows server pools to be variadic, i.e they
do not have to be same erasure stripe sizes - instead
they should have SLA for parity ratio.
If the parity ratio cannot be guaranteed by the new
server pool, the deployment is rejected i.e server
pool expansion is not allowed.
This PR refactors the way we use buffers for O_DIRECT and
to re-use those buffers for messagepack reader writer.
After some extensive benchmarking found that not all objects
have this benefit, and only objects smaller than 64KiB see
this benefit overall.
Benefits are seen from almost all objects from
1KiB - 32KiB
Beyond this no objects see benefit with bulk call approach
as the latency of bytes sent over the wire v/s streaming
content directly from disk negate each other with no
remarkable benefits.
All other optimizations include reuse of msgp.Reader,
msgp.Writer using sync.Pool's for all internode calls.
The only purpose of check-dir flag in
ReadVersion is to return 404 when
an object has xl.meta but without data.
This is causing an extract call to the disk
which can be penalizing in case of busy system
where disks receive many concurrent access.
dangling objects when removed `mc admin heal -r` or crawler
auto heal would incorrectly return error - this can interfere
with usage calculation as the entry size for this would be
returned as `0`, instead upon success use the resultant
object size to calculate the final size for the object
and avoid reporting this in the log messages
Also do not set ObjectSize in healResultItem to be '-1'
this has an effect on crawler metrics calculating 1 byte
less for objects which seem to be missing their `xl.meta`
With reduced parity our write quorum should be same
as read quorum, but code was still assuming
```
readQuorum+1
```
In all situations which is not necessary.
- Implement a new xl.json 2.0.0 format to support,
this moves the entire marshaling logic to POSIX
layer, top layer always consumes a common FileInfo
construct which simplifies the metadata reads.
- Implement list object versions
- Migrate to siphash from crchash for new deployments
for object placements.
Fixes#2111
