### Service "object.Service"
Object service provides API for manipulating with the object.

```
rpc Get(GetRequest) returns (stream GetResponse);
rpc Put(stream PutRequest) returns (PutResponse);
rpc Delete(DeleteRequest) returns (DeleteResponse);
rpc Head(HeadRequest) returns (HeadResponse);
rpc Search(SearchRequest) returns (SearchResponse);
rpc GetRange(GetRangeRequest) returns (GetRangeResponse);
rpc GetRangeHash(GetRangeHashRequest) returns (GetRangeHashResponse);

```

#### Method Get

Get the object from container. Response uses gRPC stream. First response
message carry object of requested address. Chunk messages are parts of
the object's payload if it is needed. All messages except first carry
chunks. Requested object can be restored by concatenation of object
message payload and all chunks keeping receiving order.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| Get | [GetRequest](#object.GetRequest) | [GetResponse](#object.GetResponse) |
#### Method Put

Put the object into container. Request uses gRPC stream. First message
SHOULD BE type of PutHeader. Container id and Owner id of object SHOULD
BE set. Session token SHOULD BE obtained before put operation (see
session package). Chunk messages considered by server as part of object
payload. All messages except first SHOULD BE chunks. Chunk messages
SHOULD BE sent in direct order of fragmentation.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| Put | [PutRequest](#object.PutRequest) | [PutResponse](#object.PutResponse) |
#### Method Delete

Delete the object from a container

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| Delete | [DeleteRequest](#object.DeleteRequest) | [DeleteResponse](#object.DeleteResponse) |
#### Method Head

Head returns the object without data payload. Object in the
response has system header only. If full headers flag is set, extended
headers are also present.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| Head | [HeadRequest](#object.HeadRequest) | [HeadResponse](#object.HeadResponse) |
#### Method Search

Search objects in container. Version of query language format SHOULD BE
set to 1. Search query represented in serialized format (see query
package).

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| Search | [SearchRequest](#object.SearchRequest) | [SearchResponse](#object.SearchResponse) |
#### Method GetRange

GetRange of data payload. Ranges are set of pairs (offset, length).
Fragments order in response corresponds to ranges order in request.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| GetRange | [GetRangeRequest](#object.GetRangeRequest) | [GetRangeResponse](#object.GetRangeResponse) |
#### Method GetRangeHash

GetRangeHash returns homomorphic hash of object payload range after XOR
operation. Ranges are set of pairs (offset, length). Hashes order in
response corresponds to ranges order in request. Homomorphic hash is
calculated for XORed data.

| Name | Input | Output |
| ---- | ----- | ------ |
| GetRangeHash | [GetRangeHashRequest](#object.GetRangeHashRequest) | [GetRangeHashResponse](#object.GetRangeHashResponse) |
