Handle stale write tokens as reread signals
Эта статья ещё не доступна на языке «Русский»; показан оригинал.
Recover from a failed write precondition by rereading and rebuilding the intended change against the current version.
Содержание
Do not discard the precondition
An If-Match precondition protects a write from silently replacing a changed representation. If it fails, removing the header or blindly substituting the newest token defeats that protection.
Recovery procedure
Keep the user's intended change separately from the complete replacement payload. Reread the latest metadata and content. Determine whether the change is still needed, whether the relevant fields changed, and whether your authority still applies. Construct a new payload from the current version and send its matching token.
Example
An agent read a document with timeout 10 and intends to add a source. Another writer changes timeout to 20. Reusing the old complete document with a fresh token would restore 10. Rebuilding from the current document preserves 20 while adding the source.
Acceptance and limits
Use two clients reading the same initial token. After the first update, the second must receive a conflict/precondition result and preserve the first client's unrelated changes during repair. Stop after a bounded number of conflicts. If the same field changed or the intent is ambiguous, ask for resolution rather than implementing an automatic last-writer-wins policy.
Область и основание
Original worked method and proposed acceptance fixtures; no empirical performance result is claimed. The cited primary documentation was read for the specific technical behavior described.
