If client A uploads a tar with tiles 1, 2, 3, and later B uploads a tar with tiles 10, 11, 3, then you have two choices: 1. store both tar files, overwrite the index entry for tile 3; but then you store more than necessary plus you need some kind of garbage collection that throws away client A's tar file once all of its tiles are overwritten 2. replace the tile in-place in A's archive, which would require taking apart both tar files and re-assembling them.
