We rely on the repository implementation correctly handling the case where a
write is aborted before it completes. This is not guaranteed for third-party
repositories.
This commit adds a rare action during analysis which aborts the write
just before it completes and verifies that the target blob is not found
by any node.
Today we rely on blob stores behaving in a certain way so that they can be used
as a snapshot repository. There are an increasing number of third-party blob
stores that claim to be S3-compatible, but which may not offer a suitably
correct or performant implementation of the S3 API. We rely on somesubtle
semantics with concurrent readers and writers, but some blob stores may not
implement it correctly. Hitting a corner case in the implementation may be rare
in normal use, and may be hard to reproduce or to distinguish from an
Elasticsearch bug.
This commit introduces a new `POST /_snapshot/.../_analyse` API which exercises
the more problematic corners of the repository implementation looking for
correctness bugs and measures the details of the performance of the repository
under concurrent load.
