## Why is Erasure Code useful?

- Existing or newer buckets can be created with versioning enabled and eventually can be suspended as well. Existing versions of objects stay as is and can still be accessed using the version ID.
- All versions, including delete-markers should be deleted before deleting a bucket.
- **Versioning feature is only available in erasure coded and distributed erasure coded setups**.

#### **4.2.1 Upload the input file to HDFS:**

```
hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /etc/hadoop/conf/log4j.properties
          s3a://testbucket/testdata
```

```
./bin/spark-shell --master yarn-client --driver-memory 512m --executor-memory 512m
```

The command should produce an output as shown below. (with additional status messages):

- **MinIO creates erasure-coding sets of _2_ to _16_ drives per set.  The number of drives you provide in total must be a multiple of one of those numbers.**
