In distributed mode, use REST API to acquire and manage locks instead
of RPC.
RPC has been completely removed from MinIO source.
Since we are moving from RPC to REST, we cannot use rolling upgrades as the
nodes that have not yet been upgraded cannot talk to the ones that have
been upgraded.
We expect all minio processes on all nodes to be stopped and then the
upgrade process to be completed.
Also force http1.1 for inter-node communication
Before this commit, nodes wait indefinitely without showing any
indicate error message when a node is started with different access
and secret keys.
This PR will show '401 Unauthorized' in this case.
This commit increases storage REST requests to 5 minutes, this includes
the opening TCP connection, and sending/receiving data. This will reduce
clients receiving errors when the server is under high load.
Calling /minio/prometheuses/metrics calls xlSets.StorageInfo() which creates a new
storage REST client and closes it. However, currently, closing does nothing
to the underlying opened http client.
This commit introduces a closing behavior by calling CloseIdleConnections
provided by http.Transport upon the initialization of this latter.
xl.json is the source of truth for all erasure
coded objects, without which we won't be able to
read the objects properly. This PR enables sync
mode for writing `xl.json` such all writes go hit
the disk and are persistent under situations such
as abrupt power failures on servers running Minio.
