Requests can be "Single Payload" or "Streamed".

Use the MinIO Grid for:

* Small, frequent requests with low latency requirements.
* Long-running requests with small/medium payloads.

Do *not* use the MinIO Grid for:

* Large payloads.

Only a single connection is ever made between two servers.
Likely this means that this connection will not be able to saturate network bandwidth.

However, this means that STS tokens signed previously by root credentials will no longer be valid upon upgrading to the latest version with this change. Please re-generate them as you usually do. Additionally, if site replication is ever removed - the STS tokens will become invalid, regenerate them as you usually do....

## Install from Source

Use the following commands to compile and run a standalone MinIO server from source. Source installation is only intended for developers and advanced users. If you do not have a working Golang environment, please follow [How to install Golang](https://golang.org/doc/install). Minimum version required is [go1.21](https://golang.org/dl/#stable)

```sh
go install github.com/minio/minio@latest

The python program below waits on the queue exchange `bucketevents` and prints event notifications on the console. We use [Pika Python Client](https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-three-python.html) library to do this.

```py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pika

connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(
        host='localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()

```

Or alternatively through the environment variable `MINIO_COMPRESSION_ALLOW_ENCRYPTION=on`.

### 4. Excluded Types

- Already compressed objects are not fit for compression since they do not have compressible patterns.
Such objects do not produce efficient [`LZ compression`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78)
which is a fitness factor for a lossless data compression.

- MinIO distributed mode requires **fresh directories**. If required, the drives can be shared with other applications. You can do this by using a sub-directory exclusive to MinIO. For example, if you have mounted your volume under `/export`, pass `/export/data` as arguments to MinIO server.
