### Consistency Guarantees

MinIO follows strict **read-after-write** and **list-after-write** consistency model for all i/o operations both in distributed and standalone modes. This consistency model is only guaranteed if you use disk filesystems such as xfs, zfs or btrfs etc.. for distributed setup.

Doing this provides the following specific benefits:
- **Reduce the API surface** - We no longer need to maintain two methods.
- **Consistency** - All languages have consistent access to the same APIs and ergonomics in the DSL.
- **Reduce the size of the Gradle distribution** - We no longer need to carry multiple standard libraries for different languages.
