Object Storage and MinIO

Object Storage and the S3 API with MinIO

Every table in this chapter ends up as objects in a bucket. Object storage has no directories, appends or renames, only whole objects written under a key and read back by key or byte range, and those limits shape how table formats commit. This section examines the S3 API, then runs MinIO 30,943 , BookNest's S3-compatible store.
