Distributed erasure coded configuration with 64 sets with 16 drives each.

```
minio server http://host{1...16}/export{1...64}
```

## Architecture

Expansion of ellipses and choice of erasure sets based on this expansion is an automated process in MinIO. Here are some of the details of our underlying erasure coding behavior.

	ctx := r.Context()

	objectAPI, _ := validateAdminReq(ctx, w, r, policy.DecommissionAdminAction)
	if objectAPI == nil {
		return
	}

	// Legacy args style such as non-ellipses style is not supported with this API.
	if globalEndpoints.Legacy() {
		writeErrorResponseJSON(ctx, w, errorCodes.ToAPIErr(ErrNotImplemented), r.URL)
		return
	}

	z, ok := objectAPI.(*erasureServerPools)

	for endpoint := range strings.SplitSeq(s, ",") {
		endpoint = strings.TrimSpace(endpoint)
		if endpoint == "" {
			continue
		}
		if !ellipses.HasEllipses(endpoint) {
			endpoints = append(endpoints, endpoint)
			continue
		}

		pattern, err := ellipses.FindEllipsesPatterns(endpoint)
		if err != nil {
			return nil, fmt.Errorf("kms: invalid endpoint '%s': %v", endpoint, err)
		}

> **NOTE:** `{1...n}` shown have 3 dots! Using only 2 dots `{1..n}` will be interpreted by your shell and won't be passed to MinIO server, affecting the erasure coding order, which would impact performance and high availability. **Always use ellipses syntax `{1...n}` (3 dots!) for optimal erasure-code distribution**

### Expanding existing distributed setup

		DiskIdx: -1,
	}, nil
}

// PoolEndpoints represent endpoints in a given pool
// along with its setCount and setDriveCount.
type PoolEndpoints struct {
	// indicates if endpoints are provided in non-ellipses style
	Legacy       bool
	SetCount     int
	DrivesPerSet int
	Endpoints    Endpoints
	CmdLine      string
	Platform     string
}

// EndpointServerPools - list of list of endpoints

			// No ellipses pattern. Anonymize host name from every pool arg
			pools := strings.Fields(poolsArgs)
			anonPools = make([]string, len(pools))
			for index, arg := range pools {
				anonPools[index] = anonAddr(arg)
			}
			return cmdLineWithoutPools + strings.Join(anonPools, " ")
		}

		// Ellipses pattern in pool args. Regex groups:
		// 1 - server prefix

2) Never change punctuation inside inline code, code blocks, URLs, or file paths.

### Ellipsis

1) Keep ellipsis style consistent within each document, prefer `...` over  `……`.
2) Never change ellipsis in code, URLs, or CLI examples.
