## Why is Erasure Code useful?

    public HashCode hash() {
      long value = checksum.getValue();
      if (bits == 32) {
        /*
         * The long returned from a 32-bit Checksum will have all 0s for its second word, so the
         * cast won't lose any information and is necessary to return a HashCode of the correct
         * size.
         */
        return HashCode.fromInt((int) value);
      } else {
        return HashCode.fromLong(value);
      }
    }

### Checking cluster health for maintenance

You may query the cluster probe endpoint to check if the node which received the request can be taken down for maintenance, if the server replies back '412 Precondition Failed' this means you will lose HA. '200 OK' means you are okay to proceed.

```
curl http://minio1:9001/minio/health/cluster?maintenance=true
HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 0
Server: MinIO
Vary: Origin

	_, err = obj.PutObject(ctx, bucket, object, mustGetPutObjReader(t, bytes.NewReader([]byte("abcd")), int64(len("abcd")), "", ""), opts)
	if err != nil {
		t.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Remove one more disk to 'lose' quorum, by taking 2 more drives offline.
	erasureDisks = xl.getDisks()
	z.serverPools[0].erasureDisksMu.Lock()
	xl.getDisks = func() []StorageAPI {
		erasureDisks[7] = nil
		erasureDisks[8] = nil

    `Cache.urls()` would prevent in-flight entries from being written.

- find accounts whose group memberships have changed; access policies available to a credential are updated to reflect the change, i.e. they will lose any privileges associated with a group they are removed from, and gain any privileges associated with a group they are added to.
