This is an enhancement to the XL/distributed-XL mode. FS mode is
unaffected.
The ReadFileWithVerify storage-layer call is similar to ReadFile with
the additional functionality of performing bit-rot checking. It
accepts additional parameters for a hashing algorithm to use and the
expected hex-encoded hash string.
This patch provides significant performance improvement because:
1. combines the step of reading the file (during
erasure-decoding/reconstruction) with bit-rot verification;
2. limits the number of file-reads; and
3. avoids transferring the file over the network for bit-rot
verification.
ReadFile API is implemented as ReadFileWithVerify with empty hashing
arguments.
Credits to AB and Harsha for the algorithmic improvement.
Fixes#4236.
This PR is for readability cleanup
- getOrderedDisks as shuffleDisks
- getOrderedPartsMetadata as shufflePartsMetadata
Distribution is now a second argument instead being the
primary input argument for brevity.
Also change the usage of type casted int64(0), instead
rely on direct type reference as `var variable int64` everywhere.
