### Metadata for object replication - on source

```

  "MetaSys": {
      "x-minio-internal-inline-data": "dHJ1ZQ==",

        return int(sip.Sum64() % uint64(cardinality))
}
```

Input for the key is the object name specified in `PutObject()`, returns a unique index. This index is one of the erasure sets where the object will reside. This function is a consistent hash for a given object name i.e for a given object name the index returned is always the same.

| xlMetaV2       | msgp bin array | Bin array with serialized metadata
| crc            | msgp uint      | Lower 32 bits of 64 bit xxhash of previous array contents (v1.2+ only)
| inline data    | binary         | Inline data if any, see Inline Data section for encoding.

## v1.0-v1.2 Versions
