a/b/c/d/ where `a/b/c/` exists results in additional syscalls
such as an Lstat() call to verify if the `a/b/c/` exists
and its a directory.
We do not need to do this on MinIO since the parent prefixes
if exist, we can simply return success without spending
additional syscalls.
Also this implementation attempts to simply use Access() calls
to avoid os.Stat() calls since the latter does memory allocation
for things we do not need to use.
Access() is simpler since we have a predictable structure on
the backend and we know exactly how our path structures are.
With this change, MinIO's ILM supports transitioning objects to a remote tier.
This change includes support for Azure Blob Storage, AWS S3 compatible object
storage incl. MinIO and Google Cloud Storage as remote tier storage backends.
Some new additions include:
- Admin APIs remote tier configuration management
- Simple journal to track remote objects to be 'collected'
This is used by object API handlers which 'mutate' object versions by
overwriting/replacing content (Put/CopyObject) or removing the version
itself (e.g DeleteObjectVersion).
- Rework of previous ILM transition to fit the new model
In the new model, a storage class (a.k.a remote tier) is defined by the
'remote' object storage type (one of s3, azure, GCS), bucket name and a
prefix.
* Fixed bugs, review comments, and more unit-tests
- Leverage inline small object feature
- Migrate legacy objects to the latest object format before transitioning
- Fix restore to particular version if specified
- Extend SharedDataDirCount to handle transitioned and restored objects
- Restore-object should accept version-id for version-suspended bucket (#12091)
- Check if remote tier creds have sufficient permissions
- Bonus minor fixes to existing error messages

using Lstat() is causing tiny memory allocations,
that are usually wasted and never used, instead
we can simply uses Access() call that does 0
memory allocations.
