Two-Way Server-Side Bucket Replication with NewerNoncurrentVersions lifecycle rule

[szabokacsa]

Hi,
I have a Two side (bi-direstional ) replication minio setup.
I wanted to delete the older versions on both cluster with a new NewerNoncurrentVersions lifecycle Rule in order to free up space.
I created this Rule only on one cluster, and I expected the cleanup will happen on both cluster because of the replication.
My problem is that the clean up only happens on the cluster where I created a lifecycle, but it has no effect on the other cluster and I don't know why.

I created the replication base on this guide, with a modification that I'm usingonly one replication user where I merged the replication policy for the two replication user what the guide detailed : https://docs.min.io/minio/baremetal/replication/enable-server-side-two-way-bucket-replication.html

I attached the replication policy what I'm using.
replication_config.txt

This is content of the lifecycle Rule:
{
"Rules": [
{
"ID": "Keep only most recent 1 noncurrent version",
"Status": "Enabled",
"NoncurrentVersionExpiration": {
"NewerNoncurrentVersions": 1
}
}
]
}

You need to set ILM rules on both source and target separately.

@szabokacsa as documented here, replication deletes do not trigger lifecycle management rules.

I'll make a note to ensure that information is sync'd to the active-active procedures as well.
