- Mixing `local-path` and `distributed-path` is not allowed, doing so would cause MinIO to refuse starting the server.
- Ellipses notation (e.g. `{1...10}`) or bracket notations are fully allowed (e.g. `{a,c,f}`) to have multiple entries in one line.

To disable this behavior, use `(SingleHandler).WithSharedResponse()` to disable it.

## Streaming Requests

Streams consists of an initial request with payload and allows for full two-way communication between the client and server.

The handler function has this signature.

Sample handler:
```go

| `minio_cluster_replication_last_hour_failed_count`         | (_Site Replication Only_) Total number of objects which failed replication in the last full hour.        |
| `minio_cluster_replication_last_minute_failed_bytes`       | Total number of bytes failed at least once to replicate in the last full minute.                         |

| `minio_cluster_iam_plugin_authn_service_succ_max_rtt_ms_minute` | `counter` | When plugin authentication is configured, returns maximum round-trip-time of successful requests in the last full minute |        |

MinIO in distributed mode lets you pool multiple drives (even on different machines) into a single object storage server. As drives are distributed across several nodes, distributed MinIO can withstand multiple node failures and yet ensure full data protection.

## Why distributed MinIO?

For distributed MinIO deployments, specify the *same* `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY` for each MinIO server process.

At any point in time you can switch from `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY` to a full KMS
deployment. You just need to import the generated key into KES - for example via
the KES CLI once you have successfully setup KES:

```sh
kes key create my-minio-key OSMM+vkKUTCvQs9YL/CVMIMt43HFhkUpqJxTmGl6rYw=
```

```sh
mc admin policy create myminio mypolicy mypolicy.json
```

To associate the policy with an LDAP user or group, use the full DN of the user or group:

```sh
mc idp ldap policy attach myminio mypolicy --user='uid=james,cn=accounts,dc=myldapserver,dc=com'
```

```sh
