To S3 it's like you just deleted the file; to Glacier it's like you just created the file.


Except that then we're trying to store two different blocks in Glacier with the same hash ID.


From that I assume that if a block's hash matches something that's already in the archives then you retrieve the archive block(s) with the same hash ID in order to verify that it is exactly the same (byte-for-byte)? And this wouldn't be possible with Glacier as you can't just retrieve the block from storage to check there and then.

Do you have any stats on the number of collisions you've seen?
