in-memory caching cannot be cleanly implemented
without the access to GC which Go doesn't naturally
provide. At times we have seen that object caching
is more of an hindrance rather than a boon for
our use cases.
Removing it completely from our implementation
related to #5160 and #5182
Verify() was being called by caller after the data
has been successfully read after io.EOF. This disconnection
opens a race under concurrent access to such an object.
Verification is not necessary outside of Read() call,
we can simply just do checksum verification right inside
Read() call at io.EOF.
This approach simplifies the usage.
This change refactor the ObjectLayer PutObject and PutObjectPart
functions. Instead of passing an io.Reader and a size to PUT operations
ObejectLayer expects an HashReader.
A HashReader verifies the MD5 sum (and SHA256 sum if required) of the object.
This change updates all all PutObject(Part) calls and removes unnecessary code
in all ObjectLayer implementations.
Fixes#4923
Since go1.8 os.RemoveAll and os.MkdirAll both support long
path names i.e UNC path on windows. The code we are carrying
was directly borrowed from `pkg/os` package and doesn't need
to be in our repo anymore. As a side affect this also
addresses our codecoverage issue.
Refer #4658
This is a consolidation effort, avoiding usage
of naked strings in codebase. Whenever possible
use constants which can be repurposed elsewhere.
This also fixes `goconst ./...` reported issues.
ObjectLayer GetObject() now returns the entire object
if starting offset is 0 and length is negative. This
also allows to simplify handler layer code where
we always had to use GetObjectInfo() before proceeding
to read bucket metadata files examples `policy.json`.
This also reduces one additional call overhead.
