## Replica Modification sync

      replica.get(newValue).incrementAndGet();
    } else {
      replica.put(newValue, new AtomicInteger(1));
    }

    Integer replicatedMinValue = replica.firstKey();

replication is configured, any incoming uploads and metadata changes to versions created on the target, will sync back to the source and be marked as `REPLICA` on the source. AWS, as well as MinIO do not by default sync metadata changes on a object version marked `REPLICA` back to source. This requires a setting in the replication configuration called [replica modification sync](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/12/amazon-s3-replication-adds-support-two-way-replication/).
