Research direction

Start with the linked Sentry event and the ApiError paths triggered from commit_batch; compare the conflicting-write, RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED, and ALREADY_EXISTS errors. Determine how their grouping and ignore behavior should distinguish these cases, then verify that each error remains separately visible in Sentry.

Description

bug cleanup epic p1

Sentry appears to group our ApiErrors together solely by their stack trace.

This particular event shows different ApiErrors triggered from commit_batch all under the same parent event:

https://sentry.prod.mozaws.net/operations/syncstorage-prod/issues/8179009/events/

  • An attempt at a conflicting write #614
  • 8-RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED #616
  • 6-ALREADY_EXISTS #619

We had set the "attempt at a conflicting write" error to be ignored via Sentry, which inadvertently hid the last 2 from the dashboard completely (the ignore went away went the stack trace completely changed after the 0.3.1 deploy). (Note: We're aware of the other errors, as they were noted here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1623671)
