 ### Changed
 
+- [#2136](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/2136) store, compact, bucket: schedule block deletion by adding deletion-mark.json. This adds a consistent way for multiple readers and writers to access object storage.
+Since there are no consistency guarantees provided by some Object Storage providers, this PR adds a consistent lock-free way of dealing with Object Storage irrespective of the choice of object storage. In order to achieve this co-ordination, blocks are not deleted directly. Instead, blocks are marked for deletion by uploading `deletion-mark.json` file for the block that was chosen to be deleted. This file contains unix time of when the block was marked for deletion.
+
 - [#2090](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/issues/2090) *breaking* Downsample command: the `downsample` command has moved as the `thanos bucket` sub-command, and cannot be called via `thanos downsample` any more.
