MinIO implements an S3 extension to perform multiple concurrent fan-out upload operations. A perfect use case scenario for performing fan-out operations of incoming TSB (Time Shift Buffer's). TSBs are a method of facilitating time-shifted playback of television signaling, and media content.
MinIO implements an S3 extension to the PostUpload where in a special fan-out list is sent along with the TSB's for MinIO make multiple uploads from a single source stream. Optionally supports custom metadata, tags and other retention settings. All objects are also readable independently once upload is completed via the regular S3 GetObject API.
Fan-Out uploads are automatically enabled if x-minio-fanout-list form-field is provided with the PostUpload API, to keep things simple higher level APIs are provided in our SDKs for example in minio-go SDK:
PutObjectFanOut(ctx context.Context, bucket string, fanOutContent io.Reader, fanOutReq minio.PutObjectFanOutRequest) ([]minio.PutObjectFanOutResponse, error)
