### 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.

	// name is the full name of the object including prefixes
	name string
	// Metadata. If none is present it is not an object but only a prefix.
	// Entries without metadata will only be present in non-recursive scans.
	metadata []byte

	// cached contains the metadata if decoded.
	cached *xlMetaV2

	// Indicates the entry can be reused and only one reference to metadata is expected.
	reusable bool
