These considerations apply to objects that are open for write through any protocol:
- While an object is open for write through one IP address, you cannot open it for write through any other IP address.
- You can read an object that is open for write from any IP address, even though the object data may be incomplete. A read against the node hosting the write may return more data than a read against any other node.
- While an object is open for write, you cannot delete it.Note: Depending on the timing, the delete request may result in a busy error. In that case, wait one or two seconds and then try the request again.
- While an object that’s open for write has no data:
- It is not WORM
- It may or may not have a cryptographic hash value
- It is not subject to retention
- It cannot have custom metadata
- It is not indexed
