89e2513205 feat(ecstore): pin bitrot algorithms with a startup self-test (HS-11) (#6165)
feat(ecstore): pin bitrot algorithms with a startup self-test

A drifted HighwayHash implementation fails silently: every shard reads
back corrupt, heal rewrites healthy data, and cross-platform clusters
disagree about which copy is good. Mirror MinIO's bitrotSelfTest by
verifying, once at process start:

- known-answer digests for HighwayHash256S / HighwayHash256SLegacy over
  a deterministic 4096-byte xorshift64* payload, plus the externally
  verifiable FIPS SHA-256 "abc" vector guarding the HashAlgorithm
  plumbing itself;
- an end-to-end roundtrip per streaming variant (encode -> size formula
  -> bitrot_verify -> BitrotReader read-back), over full blocks and a
  partial tail;
- tamper detection: one flipped byte in the final data block and one in
  the leading hash must both be rejected as a hash mismatch, not by an
  incidental read error.

The check costs microseconds and runs inline in
init_background_service_runtime before any shard can be written or
verified. Outcome surfaces as one structured bitrot_selftest log event,
the rustfs_bitrot_selftest_status gauge (1=passed / 0=failed / 2=skipped),
a bitrotSelftest field on the admin server-info response, and
RUSTFS_BITROT_SELFTEST_STRICT=on turns a failure into a startup error
(MinIO Fatal parity; the default only degrades the status so a bad build
cannot brick an existing fleet on upgrade).

Closes rustfs/backlog#1873 (HS-11).

English | Simplified Chinese

RustFS is a high-performance distributed object storage software built using Rust, one of the most popular languages worldwide. Along with MinIO, it shares a range of advantages such as simplicity, broad S3 API compatibility for supported features, open-source nature, support for data lakes, AI, and big data. Furthermore, it has a better and more user-friendly open-source license in comparison to other storage systems, being constructed under the Apache license. As Rust serves as its foundation, RustFS provides faster speed and safer distributed features for high-performance object storage.

Features

  • High Performance: Built with Rust, ensuring speed and efficiency.
  • Distributed Architecture: Scalable and fault-tolerant design for large-scale deployments.
  • S3 Compatibility: Integration with common S3-compatible applications; current coverage is tracked in the S3 compatibility matrix.
  • Data Lake Support: Optimized for big data and AI workloads.
  • Open Source: Licensed under Apache 2.0, encouraging community contributions and transparency.
  • User-Friendly: Designed with simplicity in mind, making it easy to deploy and manage.

RustFS vs Other object storage

RustFS Other object storage
Powerful Console Simple and useless Console
Developed based on Rust language, memory is safer Developed in Go or C, with potential issues like memory GC/leaks
Does not report logs to third-party countries Reporting logs to other third countries may violate national security laws
Licensed under Apache, more business-friendly AGPL V3 License and other License, polluted open source and License traps, infringement of intellectual property rights
S3-compatible core, with coverage tracked in the compatibility matrix Variable S3 support and local cloud vendor coverage
Rust-based development, strong support for secure and innovative devices Poor support for edge gateways and secure innovative devices
Stable commercial prices, free community support High pricing, with costs up to $250,000 for 1PiB
No risk Intellectual property risks and risks of prohibited uses

Quickstart

To get started with RustFS, follow these steps:

  1. One-click installation script (Option 1)

    curl -O  https://rustfs.com/install_rustfs.sh && bash install_rustfs.sh
    
  2. Docker Quick Start (Option 2)

 # Docker Hub (recommended)
 docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /data:/data rustfs/rustfs:latest

 # Alternative using Podman
 podman run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /data:/data rustfs/rustfs:latest
  1. Access the Console: Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9001 to access the RustFS console, default username and password is rustfsadmin .
  2. Create a Bucket: Use the console to create a new bucket for your objects.
  3. Upload Objects: You can upload files directly through the console or use S3-compatible APIs to interact with your RustFS instance.
