## Add a function to get a `Bucket`

In **Couchbase**, a bucket is a set of documents, that can be of different types.

They are generally all related to the same application.

The analogy in the relational database world would be a "database" (a specific database, not the database server).

The analogy in **MongoDB** would be a "collection".

## Description of `xl.meta`

`xl.meta` is a new self describing backend format used by MinIO to support AWS S3 compatible versioning.
This file is the source of truth for each `version` at rest. `xl.meta` is a msgpack file serialized from a

collect `xl.meta` from a specific object, for example placed at `ALIAS/bucket/path/to/file.txt` append `/xl.meta`, for instance `mc support inspect ALIAS/bucket/path/to/file.txt/xl.meta`. All files can be collected, so this can also be used to retrieve `part.*` files, etc.

Wildcards can be used, for example `mc support inspect ALIAS/bucket/path/**/xl.meta` will collect all `xl.meta` recursively. `mc support inspect ALIAS/bucket/path/to/file.txt/*/part.*` will collect parts for all versions for...
