Harshavardhana fb96779a8a Add large bucket support for erasure coded backend (#5160)
This PR implements an object layer which
combines input erasure sets of XL layers
into a unified namespace.

This object layer extends the existing
erasure coded implementation, it is assumed
in this design that providing > 16 disks is
a static configuration as well i.e if you started
the setup with 32 disks with 4 sets 8 disks per
pack then you would need to provide 4 sets always.

Some design details and restrictions:

- Objects are distributed using consistent ordering
  to a unique erasure coded layer.
- Each pack has its own dsync so locks are synchronized
  properly at pack (erasure layer).
- Each pack still has a maximum of 16 disks
  requirement, you can start with multiple
  such sets statically.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
  changed, there is no elastic expansion allowed.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
  changed, there is no elastic removal allowed.
- ListObjects() across sets can be noticeably
  slower since List happens on all servers,
  and is merged at this sets layer.

We found the following APIs to be redundant or less useful outside of AWS S3. If you have a different view on any of the APIs we missed, please open a github issue.

List of Amazon S3 Bucket API's not supported on Minio.

  • BucketACL (Use bucket policies instead)
  • BucketCORS (CORS enabled by default on all buckets for all HTTP verbs)
  • BucketLifecycle (Not required for Minio erasure coded backend)
  • BucketReplication (Use mc mirror instead)
  • BucketVersions, BucketVersioning (Use s3git)
  • BucketWebsite (Use caddy or nginx)
  • BucketAnalytics, BucketMetrics, BucketLogging (Use bucket notification APIs)
  • BucketRequestPayment
  • BucketTagging

List of Amazon S3 Object API's not supported on Minio.

Object name restrictions on Minio.

Object names that contain characters `^*|" are unsupported on Windows and other file systems which do not support filenames with these characters.
