Lifecycle rule for a bucket. Allows supported Actions, such as deleting and changing storage
class, to be executed when certain Conditions are met.
Versions 1.50.0-1.111.2 of this library don’t support the CustomTimeBefore,
DaysSinceCustomTime, DaysSinceNoncurrentTime and NoncurrentTimeBefore lifecycle conditions. To
read GCS objects with those lifecycle conditions, update your Java client library to the latest
version.
