- Objects must not have conflicting objects as parent objects, applications using this behavior should change their behavior and use non-conflicting unique keys, for example situations such as following conflicting key patterns are not supported.

*A noticeable trait of this expansion is that it chooses unique hosts such the setup provides maximum protection and availability.*

- 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.

(random data based), UUIDs are 128 bit numbers which are intended to have a high likelihood of uniqueness over space and time and are computationally difficult to guess. They are globally unique identifiers which can be locally generated without contacting a global registration authority. UUIDs are intended as unique identifiers for both mass tagging objects with an extremely short lifetime and to reliably identifying very persistent objects across a network.

When you PUT an object in a versioning-enabled...
