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
