## Overview

MinIO supports two storage classes, Reduced Redundancy class and Standard class. These classes can be defined using environment variables
set before starting MinIO server. After the data and parity drives for each storage class are defined using environment variables,
you can set the storage class of an object via request metadata field `x-amz-storage-class`. MinIO server then honors the storage class by

- Bucket notification configuration
- Bucket lifecycle (ILM) configuration

## Pre-requisites

- Initially, only **one** of the sites added for replication may have data. After site-replication is successfully configured, this data is replicated to the other (initially empty) sites. Subsequently, objects may be written to any of the sites, and they will be replicated to all other sites.

MinIO supports multiple admin users in addition to default operator credential created during server startup. New admins can be added after server starts up, and server can be configured to deny or allow access to different admin operations for these users. This document explains how to add/remove admin users and modify their access rights.

## Get started

- Follow the on screen wizard

- On the Capacity Tier screen, check the box to Extend scale-out backup repository capacity with object storage checkbox and select the object storage. If you want to be able to test backup data immediately after a job is run, under the object storage selection, check the "Copy" box and uncheck the "Move" box.

Replication status can be seen in the metadata on the source and destination objects. On the source side, the `X-Amz-Replication-Status` changes from `PENDING` to `COMPLETED` or `FAILED` after replication attempt either succeeded or failed respectively. On the destination side, a `X-Amz-Replication-Status` status of `REPLICA` indicates that the object was replicated successfully. Any replication failures are automatically re-attempted during...

## **3. Configure Hadoop, Spark, Hive to use MinIO**

After successful installation navigate to the Ambari UI `http://<ambari-server>:8080/` and login using the default credentials: [**_username: admin, password: admin_**]

- Temporary credentials are short-term, as the name implies. They can be configured to last for anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. After the credentials expire, MinIO no longer recognizes them or allows any kind of access from API requests made with them.

### 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.
