Good catch. Yes, from the user's perspective, an update_* conflict
should be raised when performing an update operation. But internally
since we are deleting from one partition and inserting to another, we
are hitting insert_exist. To convert this insert_exist to udpate_exist
conflict, perhaps we need to change insert-operation to
update-operation as the default resolver is 'always apply update' in
case of update_differ. But not sure how much complexity it will add to
the code. If it makes the code too complex, I think we can retain the
existing behaviour but document this multi-partition case. And in the
resolver patch, we can handle the resolution of insert_exists by
converting it to update. Thoughts?
