### 3. Setup MinIO with etcd

MinIO server expects environment variable for etcd as `MINIO_ETCD_ENDPOINTS`, this environment variable takes many comma separated entries.

```
export MINIO_ETCD_ENDPOINTS=http://localhost:2379
minio server /data
```

- 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.

> NOTE: MinIO environmental variables still take precedence over the `config.yaml` file, however `config.yaml` is preferred over MinIO internal config KV settings via `mc admin config set alias/ <sub-system>`.

## v1.0-v1.2 Versions

`xl.meta` carries three types of object entries which designate the type of version object stored.

- ObjectType (default)
- LegacyObjectType (preserves existing deployments and older xl.json format)

This is the top level domain name used for the federated setup. This domain name should ideally resolve to a load-balancer
running in front of all the federated MinIO instances. The domain name is used to create sub domain entries to etcd. For
example, if the domain is set to `domain.com`, the buckets `bucket1`, `bucket2` will be accessible as `bucket1.domain.com`
and `bucket2.domain.com`.

#### MINIO_PUBLIC_IPS

- On Operator based MinIO deployments, you need to modify the `tenant.yaml` specification and modify the `pools:` section from two entries to a single entry. After making relevant changes, proceed to execute `kubectl apply -f tenant.yaml`.

> Without a 'Complete' status any 'Active' or 'Draining' pool(s) are not allowed to be removed once configured.

## NOTE

This notification target supports two formats: _namespace_ and _access_.

Download [`certgen`](https://github.com/minio/certgen/releases/latest) for your specific operating system and platform.

`certgen` is a simple *Go* tool to generate self-signed certificates, and provides SAN certificates with DNS and IP entries:

```sh
./certgen -host "10.10.0.3,10.10.0.4,10.10.0.5"
```

A response similar to this one should be displayed:

```
2018/11/21 10:16:18 wrote public.crt
2018/11/21 10:16:18 wrote private.key
```

```

Let's take for example a set of 12 compute nodes with an aggregate memory of _1.2TiB_, we need to do following settings for optimal results. Add the following optimal entries for _core-site.xml_ to configure _s3a_ with **MinIO**. Most important options here are

```
cat ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/core-site.xml | kv-pairify | grep "mapred"
