Instead of removing the shadow objects, we add an intent entry to the intent log. This is done, so that an object read that happens while doing a write to the object can complete successfully, while returning the original object. A separate process then have to remove those entries, but only after a long period (e.g., a couple of days). The radosgw-admin utility can handle that.
