   - Keep PRs focused—one feature or fix. Split large changes into multiple PRs.

3. **Testing**:
   - Include unit tests for new functionality or bug fixes.
   - Ensure existing tests pass (`make test`).
   - Document testing steps in the PR summary if manual testing was performed.

4. **Before Submitting**:

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a feature branch: `git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature`
3. Follow coding standards: `mvn formatter:format`
4. Add tests for new functionality
5. Ensure all tests pass: `mvn test`
6. Check license headers: `mvn license:format`
7. Commit changes: `git commit -m 'Add amazing feature'`
8. Push to branch: `git push origin feature/amazing-feature`
9. Open a Pull Request

### Code Style

provides protection against multiple node/drive failures and [bit rot](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/erasure/README.md#what-is-bit-rot-protection) using [erasure code](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html). As the minimum drives required for distributed MinIO is 2 (same as minimum drives required for erasure coding), erasure code automatically kicks in as you launch distributed MinIO.

If one or more drives are offline at the start...

          .that(returnType.getComponentType())
          .isEqualTo(annotationClass.getDeclaringClass());
    }
  }

  // This is public so that tests for Feature enums we haven't yet imagined
  // can reuse it.
  public static <E extends Enum<?> & Feature<?>> void assertGoodFeatureEnum(
      Class<E> featureEnumClass) {
    Class<?>[] classes = featureEnumClass.getDeclaredClasses();
    for (Class<?> containedClass : classes) {

- Erasure coding used by MinIO is [Reed-Solomon](https://github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon) erasure coding scheme, which has a total shard maximum of 256 i.e 128 data and 128 parity. MinIO design goes beyond this limitation by doing some practical architecture choices.
