> I don't see a compelling reason why to change our current behaviour. The fact that Amazon itself is inconsistent makes me think that it just an artifact of their architecture, rather than a carefully designed api. Interesting.. if we look at the Amazon S3 FAQ we can understand the differences in API responses: "Q: What data consistency model does Amazon S3 employ? Amazon S3 buckets in the US Standard region provide eventual consistency. Amazon S3 buckets in all other regions provide read-after-write consistency for PUTS of new objects and eventual consistency for overwrite PUTS and DELETES." If we consider buckets in our implementation to be eventually consistent, we should probably return 200. If we can provide read-after-write consistency, then we should probably return 209. -- Kyle -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
