I think a race condition cannot be avoided, where it would pass 99.99% of the time, but it can be that they overwrite each other because they don't know that multiple processes are writing to the table. For filesystems that support atomic operations, rename operations do not overwrite each other. On the other hand, this operation is not supported in object storage. Due to the atomic nature of the operation, each client will know if its operation succeeded or not when it renames. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
