 ### Object Size
 
+#### Fixed File Size
+
 Most benchmarks use the `--obj.size` parameter to decide the size of objects to upload.
 
 Different benchmark types will have different default values.
@@ -241,6 +243,20 @@ The average object size will be close to `--obj.size` multiplied by 0.179151.
 
 To get a value for `--obj.size` multiply the desired average object size by 5.582 to get a maximum value. 
 
+#### Bucketed File Size
+
+The `--obj.size` parameter accepts a string value whose format can describe size buckets.
+The usage of that format activates the options of bucketed file sizes and preempts a possible activation
+of random files sizes via `--obj.randsize`.
+
+The format of the string is a coma-separated of colon-separated pairs, describing buckets and their respective weights.
+Within each bucket, the size distribution is uniform.
+
+E.g.: the value `4096:10740,8192:1685,16384:1623` will trigger objects whose size will be chosen
+between 0 and 4096 with a weight of 10740, between 4096 and 8192 with a weight of 1685,
+or between 8192 and 16384 with a weight of 1623.

 ## Automatic Termination
 Adding `--autoterm` parameter will enable automatic termination when results are considered stable. 
 To detect a stable setup, warp continuously downsample the current data to
