For testing purposes, here is [how to create self-signed certificates](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/tls#3-generate-self-signed-certificates).

## 2. Create Kubernetes secret

the scanner will sleep *10x* the time each operation takes.

In most setups this will keep the scanner slow enough to not impact overall system performance. Setting the `delay` key to a *lower* value will make the scanner faster and setting it to 0 will make the scanner run at full speed (not recommended in production). Setting it to a higher value will make the scanner slower, consuming less resources with the trade off of not collecting metrics for operations like healing and disk usage...

MinIO needs a persistent volume to store configuration and application data. For testing purposes, you can launch MinIO by simply passing a directory (`/data` in the example below). This directory gets created in the container filesystem at the time of container start. But all the data is lost after container exits.

```sh

### Installing the Chart (toy-setup)

Minimal toy setup for testing purposes can be deployed using:

```bash

Add the following optimal entries for `hive-site.xml` to configure Hive with **MinIO**.

```
hive.blobstore.use.blobstore.as.scratchdir=true
hive.exec.input.listing.max.threads=50
hive.load.dynamic.partitions.thread=25
hive.metastore.fshandler.threads=50
hive.mv.files.threads=40
mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.list-status.num-threads=50
```

## How to use?

Ensure that versioning is enabled on the source and target buckets with `mc version` command. If object locking is required, the buckets should have been created with `mc mb --with-lock`

## 1. Prerequisites

* Familiarity with [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/overview/).

### High availability

A stand-alone MinIO server would go down if the server hosting the drives goes offline. In contrast, a distributed MinIO setup with _m_ servers and _n_ drives will have your data safe as long as _m/2_ servers or _m*n_/2 or more drives are online.
