### Additional notes

Tiering and lifecycle transition are applicable only to erasure/distributed MinIO.

- DeleteMarker (a versionId to capture the DELETE sequences implemented primarily for AWS spec compatibility)

A sample msgpack-JSON `xl.meta`, you can debug the content inside `xl.meta` using [xl-meta.go](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/debugging#decoding-metadata) program.

```json
{
  "Versions": [
    {
      "Type": 1,
      "V2Obj": {
        "ID": "KWUs8S+8RZq4Vp5TWy6KFg==",

- Choosing an erasure set for the object is decided during `PutObject()`, object names are used to find the right erasure set using the following pseudo code.

```go
// hashes the key returning an integer.
func sipHashMod(key string, cardinality int, id [16]byte) int {
        if cardinality <= 0 {
                return -1
        }
        sip := siphash.New(id[:])

This document explains the design approach of server side bucket replication. If you're looking to get started with replication, we suggest you go through the [Bucket replication guide](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/bucket/replication/README.md) first.
