When the _namespace_ format is used, MinIO synchronizes objects in the bucket with entries in a hash. For each entry, the key is formatted as "bucketName/objectName" for an object that exists in the bucket, and the value is the JSON-encoded event data about the operation that created/replaced the object in MinIO. When objects are updated or deleted, the corresponding entry in the hash is also updated or deleted.
