### Internal metadata for replication

`xl.meta` that is in use for [versioning](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/bucket/versioning/DESIGN.md) has additional metadata for replication of objects,delete markers and versioned deletes.

Maven Repository Metadata Model

 This is strictly the model for Maven Repository Metadata, so really just plain objects.

 The metadata file name is:

 * <<<maven-metadata.xml>>> in a remote repository,

 * <<<maven-metadata-\<repo-id>.xml>>> in a local repository, for metadata from a repository with <<<repo-id>>> identifier.

 []

         * same version index. Allowing the caller to pass in metadata from a previous deployment allows to re-establish
         * the association between the artifacts of the same project.
