on freshReads if drive returns errInvalidArgument, we
should simply turn-off DirectIO and read normally, there
are situations in k8s like environments where the drives
behave sporadically in a single deployment and may not
have been implemented properly to handle O_DIRECT for
reads.
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.
The only purpose of check-dir flag in
ReadVersion is to return 404 when
an object has xl.meta but without data.
This is causing an extract call to the disk
which can be penalizing in case of busy system
where disks receive many concurrent access.
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.
