- Each pool expects each host in this pool has the same number of drives specified as any other host.
- Mixing `local-path` and `distributed-path` is not allowed, doing so would cause MinIO to refuse starting the server.
- Ellipses notation (e.g. `{1...10}`) or bracket notations are fully allowed (e.g. `{a,c,f}`) to have multiple entries in one line.

MinIO versioning is designed to keep multiple versions of an object in one bucket. For example, you could store `spark.csv` (version `ede336f2`) and `spark.csv` (version `fae684da`) in a single bucket. Versioning protects you from unintended overwrites, deletions, protect objects with retention policies.

An additional header `X-Minio-Replication-Delete-Status` is returned which would show `PENDING` or `FAILED` status if the replication is still not caught up.

network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
get its source.  For example, if your program is a web application, its
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
of the code.  There are many ways you could offer source, and different
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
specific requirements.

mc cp /etc/issue myminio/test
mc admin user add myminio foo foobar123
export MC_HOST_foo=http://foo:foobar123@localhost:9000
mc ls foo
mc cp /etc/issue myminio/test/issue2
```

Only the last operation would fail with a permissions error.

## Configuration

Access Management Plugin can be configured with environment variables:

```sh
$ mc admin config set myminio policy_plugin --env
KEY:

```

Here we see that MinIO performed `HSET` on `minio_events` key.

In case, `access` format was used, then `minio_events` would be a list, and the MinIO server would have performed an `RPUSH` to append to the list. A consumer of this list would ideally use `BLPOP` to remove list items from the left-end of the list.

## Publish MinIO events via NATS

### 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.

number erasure sets to provide for uniform distribution across nodes*. This is to ensure that same number of drives are pariticipating in any erasure set. For example if you have 2 nodes with 180 drives then GCD is 15 but this would lead to uneven distribution, one of the nodes would participate more drives. To avoid this the affinity is given towards nodes which leads to next best GCD factor of 12 which provides uniform distribution.

- In this algorithm, we also make sure that we spread the drives...

easily get the temporary credentials to upload to a prefix. Make it possible for a client to upload a whole folder using the session. The server side applications need not create a presigned URL and serve to the client for each file. Since, the client would have the session it can do it by itself.

The temporary security credentials returned by this API consists of an access key, a secret key, and a security token. Applications can use these temporary security credentials to sign calls to MinIO...
