Dan and I had a discussion about `create` and came to an agreement to implement it, but to make sure the docs for it don't make claims about atomicity. It is still useful to have it because some engines may use `create` without overwrite to write data files. And although there are no guarantees when used concurrently, at least only one writer wins. We've had issues with concurrent writes corrupting version-hint.txt files in other file systems, so a lack of guarantees isn't unique to S3. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
