AWS Error Message: A conflicting conditional opera

Question

I'm getting this error intermittently.

I have a program that uses the java aws sdk and loads over the 10s of thousands of small files to s3. I see this error intermittently.

Could not find any helpful answer after doing a quick search on the internet.

Note the calling program is single threaded. The underlying aws java sdk does seem to use worker threads.

Answer 1

You also get this message when you have more than 100 buckets in the account already. There is a soft limit of 100 buckets.
