## 6. Implementation Status

- Full AWS S3 [SELECT SQL](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/s3-glacier-select-sql-reference-select.html) syntax is supported.

MinIO in distributed mode lets you pool multiple drives (even on different machines) into a single object storage server. As drives are distributed across several nodes, distributed MinIO can withstand multiple node failures and yet ensure full data protection.

## Why distributed MinIO?

backend data

`mc support inspect` allows collecting files based on *path* from all backend drives. Matching files will be collected in a zip file with their respective host+drive+path. A MinIO host from October 2021 or later is required for full functionality. Syntax is `mc support inspect ALIAS/path/to/files`. This can for example be used to collect `xl.meta` from objects that are misbehaving. To collect `xl.meta` from a specific object, for example placed at `ALIAS/bucket/path/to/file.txt`...
