Yeah, it's somewhat unfortunate that the chunkiness of the underlying
data storage becomes visible to clients if they try to do concurrent
updates of the same large object. Ideally you'd only get a concurrency
failure if you tried to overwrite the same byte(s) that somebody else
did, but as it stands, modifying nearby bytes might be enough --- or
not, if there's a chunk boundary between.
On the whole, though, it's not clear to me why concurrent updates of
sections of large objects is a good application design. You probably
ought to rethink how you're storing your data.
