Gist of improvements:
* Cross-server caching and listing will use the same data across servers and requests.
* Lists can be arbitrarily resumed at a constant speed.
* Metadata for all files scanned is stored for streaming retrieval.
* The existing bloom filters controlled by the crawler is used for validating caches.
* Concurrent requests for the same data (or parts of it) will not spawn additional walkers.
* Listing a subdirectory of an existing recursive cache will use the cache.
* All listing operations are fully streamable so the number of objects in a bucket no
longer dictates the amount of memory.
* Listings can be handled by any server within the cluster.
* Caches are cleaned up when out of date or superseded by a more recent one.
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
