### Environment variables

#### MINIO_ETCD_ENDPOINTS

This is comma separated list of etcd servers that you want to use as the MinIO federation back-end. This should
be same across the federated deployment, i.e. all the MinIO instances within a federated deployment should use same
etcd back-end.

claim_name    (string)    JWT canned policy claim name, defaults to "policy"
claim_prefix  (string)    JWT claim namespace prefix e.g. "customer1/"
scopes        (csv)       Comma separated list of OpenID scopes for server, defaults to advertised scopes from discovery document e.g. "email,admin"
comment       (sentence)  optionally add a comment to this setting
```

and ENV based options

```

To add a replication rule allowing both delete marker replication, versioned delete replication or both specify the --replicate flag with comma separated values as in the example below.

			Optional:    true,

		},

			Type:        "csv",

			Description: "Kafka topic used for bucket notifications",
			Optional:    true,

				<-keepAliveTicker.C
			}
		}
	}

	// On Kubernetes/Docker setups DNS resolves inappropriately sometimes
	// where there are situations same endpoints with multiple disks
	// come online indicating either one of them is local and some
	// of them are not local. This situation can never happen and
	// its only a possibility in orchestrated deployments with dynamic

```
KEY:
notify_kafka[:name]  publish bucket notifications to Kafka endpoints

ARGS:
brokers*         (csv)       comma separated list of Kafka broker addresses
topic            (string)    Kafka topic used for bucket notifications
sasl_username    (string)    username for SASL/PLAIN or SASL/SCRAM authentication

		case errFirstDiskWait:
			// Fresh setup, wait for other servers to come up.
			logger.Info("Waiting for all other servers to be online to format the drives (elapses %s)\n", getElapsedTime())
		case errErasureReadQuorum:
			// no quorum available continue to wait for minimum number of servers.
			logger.Info("Waiting for a minimum of %d drives to come online (elapsed %s)\n",
				len(endpoints)/2, getElapsedTime())

Assuming that you already have Apache Kafka configured and running.
