MINIMUM_ZETA is a parameter determining how close reflections may be to the 'blind region' of reciprocal space to still be integrated. On the detector, the blind region consists of two cones starting at the direct beam position, and extending into the spindle direction.

A high value (corresponding to a large blind region) is "safe" but produces lower completeness because more pixels of the detector are considered to be in the blind region. The default of 0.15 is on the safe side. I routinely use 0.1, and 0.05 turns out to still be good.
