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.
only newly replaced drives get the new `format.json`,
this avoids disks reloading their in-memory reference
format, ensures that drives are online without
reloading the in-memory reference format.
keeping reference format in-tact means UUIDs
never change once they are formatted.
Add context to all (non-trivial) calls to the storage layer.
Contexts are propagated through the REST client.
- `context.TODO()` is left in place for the places where it needs to be added to the caller.
- `endWalkCh` could probably be removed from the walkers, but no changes so far.
The "dangerous" part is that now a caller disconnecting *will* propagate down, so a
"delete" operation will now be interrupted. In some cases we might want to disconnect
this functionality so the operation completes if it has started, leaving the system in a cleaner state.
- 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
If the requested server is part of the set this will always read
from the local disk, even if the disk contains a parity shard.
In default setup there is a 50% chance that at least
one shard that otherwise would have been fetched remotely
will be read locally instead.
It basically trades RPC call overhead for reed-solomon.
On distributed localhost this seems to be fairly break-even,
with a very small gain in throughput and latency.
However on networked servers this should be a bigger

Bonus fix: Only ask for heal once on an object.
