- Less than `STANDARD` Parity, if it is set.

Default value for `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` storage class is `1`.

## Get started with Storage Class

### Set storage class

The format to set storage class environment variables is as follows

`MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_STANDARD=EC:parity`
`MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_RRS=EC:parity`

You can use the Select API to query objects with following features:

- Objects must be in CSV, JSON, or Parquet(*) format.
- UTF-8 is the only encoding type the Select API supports.

* 3.3 [Use OpenSSL (with IP address) to Generate a Certificate](#using-open-ssl-with-ip)
* 3.4 [Use GnuTLS (for Windows) to Generate a Certificate](#using-gnu-tls)

**Note:**

* MinIO only supports keys and certificates in PEM format on Linux and Windows.
* MinIO doesn't currently support PFX certificates.

### 3.1 Use `certgen` to Generate a Certificate

## Decoding Metadata

Metadata is stored in `xl.meta` files for erasure coded objects. Each disk in the set containing the object has this file. The file format is a binary format and therefore requires tools to view values.

### Installing xl-meta

To install, [Go](https://golang.org/dl/) must be installed. Once installed, execute this to install the binary:

```bash
