Research direction

Start with the RERUM durability APIs and the deferred commit client workflow described in this issue. Clarify the idempotency, conflict metadata, optional bulk overwrite, and metrics requirements before locating the relevant entry points. Done means retries do not duplicate writes, conflicts expose reconciliation data, and the listed durability metrics are emitted.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Summary

Enhance RERUM durability APIs for deferred commit workloads with idempotency and richer conflict metadata.

Scope

  • Support idempotency keys for overwrite and retry safety.
  • Ensure conflict responses include current revision and current document metadata.
  • Evaluate optional bulk overwrite endpoint for batched page flushes.
  • Emit metrics for write rate, conflict rate, and latency.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Retries using same idempotency key do not duplicate writes.
  • Conflict response contains fields needed for client reconciliation.
  • Metrics are emitted for durability observability.

Dependency

  • Aligns with TPEN services durable flush worker issue.
