  • Subject changed from [Keep] Add If-Match to Azure SDK during SetBlobMetadata (similar to delete) to [Keep] Add If-Match to Azure SDK during SetBlobMetadata

It is possible to end up with the following race condition and hence we need the SDK to support If-Match during the SetBlobMetadata as well, similar to delete operation. If-Match (on Etag) will prevent an already in-progress "process trash list" from updating a block that was "Put" again in the meantime and hence is no longer old.

"process trash list" goroutine                 "PUT request" handler

                                               get metadata
get metadata
                                               metadata has last_write_at=(old)
set metadata[expires_at]=now+TTL
                                               set metadata[last_write_at]=now
(leave metadata[last_write_at] alone)
                                               write metadata to Azure
write metadata to Azure
                                               success! last_write_at is fresh, so block is safe.
success! last_write_at is old, so block
is trashed / scheduled to be deleted.
