Introducing Spark-Select for MinIO Data Lakes

When early object storage APIs were developed they focused on the efficient storage and retrieval of objects. Amazon’s success with S3 and its implementation of the robust S3 API quickly became the de facto standard for object storage in the cloud. MinIO, recognizing this, invested heavily in creating the most compliant implementation of the S3 API outside of Amazon.

Here Comes The Flood

Here Comes The Flood

In 1994, EMC’s Symmetrix set an industry high-water mark with its max capacity of 1TB (TeraByte) for an enterprise storage system. In 2016, NetApp introduced the FAS9000 which in a 24-node cluster config holds about 172PB (PetaByte) raw. Increasing by 172,000x after 22 years — while dramatically improving performance and adding dozens of wonderful features — is decidedly impressive. But

MinIO, the ZFS of cloud storage

ZFS is best known for abstracting away the physical storage device boundaries by pooling them together. ZFS completely removed the need to manually handle physical storage or worry about their individual capacities. ZFS is also a pioneer in its ability to detect data corruption and recover if data redundancy is available. However, as we already discussed, traditional filesystems can’t
