### 3. Test your setup

To test this setup, access the MinIO server via browser or [`mc`](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart). You’ll see the uploaded files are accessible from the all the MinIO endpoints.

  - New objects inherit the retention settings of the bucket object lock configuration automatically
  - Retention headers can be optionally set while uploading objects
  - Once objects are uploaded PutObjectRetention API can be called to change retention settings
- *MINIO_NTP_SERVER* environment variable can be set to remote NTP server endpoint if system time is not desired for setting retention dates.

if err != nil {
 log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Println("Uploaded", "my-objectname", " of size: ", n, "Successfully.")

## Enabling Parquet Format

Parquet is DISABLED by default since hostile crafted input can easily crash the server.

If you are in a controlled environment where it is safe to assume no hostile content can be uploaded to your cluster you can safely enable Parquet.
To enable Parquet set the environment variable `MINIO_API_SELECT_PARQUET=on`.
