* MockWebServer. In cases where logic is particularly tricky, we use unit tests. This class makes
 * it easy to get sample values to use in such tests.
 *
 * This class is pretty fast and loose with default values: it attempts to provide values that are
 * well-formed, but doesn't guarantee values are internally consistent. Callers must take care to
 * configure the factory when sample values impact the correctness of the test.

         * The long returned from a 32-bit Checksum will have all 0s for its second word, so the
         * cast won't lose any information and is necessary to return a HashCode of the correct
         * size.

### Checking cluster health for maintenance

You may query the cluster probe endpoint to check if the node which received the request can be taken down for maintenance, if the server replies back '412 Precondition Failed' this means you will lose HA. '200 OK' means you are okay to proceed.

```
curl http://minio1:9001/minio/health/cluster?maintenance=true
HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 0
Server: MinIO
Vary: Origin
