title: AWS Error Message: A conflicting conditional operation is currently in progress against this resource
body: <p>I'm getting this error intermittently.</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>Could not find any helpful answer after doing a quick search on the internet.</p>
  
  <p>Note the calling program is single threaded. The underlying aws java sdk does seem to use worker threads.</p>
