Likewise, {{es}} only deletes an object from the repository after it becomes unreferenced by all other objects. AWS S3 replication will apply operations to the replica repository in a different order from the order in which {{es}} applies them to the primary repository, which can cause some objects in replica repositories to refer to other objects that do not exist. This is an invalid state. It may not be possible to recover any data from a repository if it is in this state.
