+# Hash with Metadata Transformer
+
+A simple hash transformer that processes objects (bytes) by extracting ETL metadata from an inline transform request and using it as a seed value to compute a seeded hash. This example demonstrates how to pass custom metadata for each individual object through an ETL inline transform and utilize it within your pod.
+
+### Initializing ETL with AIStore CLI
+
+The following steps demonstrate how to initialize the `transformer-hash-with-metadata` with using the [AIStore CLI](https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore/blob/master/docs/cli.md):
+
+```!bash
+$ cd transformers/hash_with_metadata
+
+$ # Mention communication type b/w target and container
+$ export COMMUNICATION_TYPE='hpull://'
+
+# Substitute env variables in spec file
+$ envsubst < pod.yaml > init_spec.yaml
+
+$ # Initialize ETL
+$ ais etl init spec --from-file init_spec.yaml --name <etl-name> --comm-type "hpull://"
+
+$ # Put an object
+$ ais object put <your-file> ais://<bck-name>
+
+$ # Transform and retrieve objects from the bucket using this ETL with metadata
+$ curl -L -X GET "${AIS_ENDPOINT}/v1/objects/<bck-name>/<your-file>?etl_name=<etl-name>&etl_meta=100000"
+```
