Description ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CreatePath and RenamePath APIs are idempotent as subsequent retries on same resource don’t change the server state[[1]](bookmark://rfcIdempotency). However, when client experiences connection break on the CreatePath and the RenamePath APIs, client cannot make sense if the request is accepted by the server or not. On connection failure, the client retries the request. The server might return 404 (sourceNotFound) in case of RenamePath API and 409 (pathAlreadyExists) in case of CreatePath (overwrite=false) API. Now the client doesn’t have a path forward. Reason being, in case of CreatePath, client doesn’t know if the path was created on the original request or the path was already there for some other request, in case of RenamePath, client doesn’t know if the source was removed because of the original-try or it was not there on the first place. Proposed Solution --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Driver will send addition header "x-ms-client-transaction-id" which will store by the server. In case first call fails because of time out and retry happens and server throw source not found (in case of rename) and path already exist (in case of create call). Driver will do list call on the path and check whether the "x-ms-client-transaction-id" returned by server same as what driver has at its end. In such case driver will return success to the caller. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
