It's only used to avoid uploading one chunk from one object that the key
|
|
points to, and then later upload a chunk from a different object.
|
|
|
|
While WORM keys could in theory "collide" and the same key point to
|
|
different content, that's no different than MD5 or SHA1 keys colliding;
|
|
it's a smallish risk, easily quantified, and you take that risk by
|
|
choosing to use those keys.
|
|
|
|
The risk that the content at an url might change varies over time or
|
|
something like that, so I think it makes sense to treat URL keys as specially
|
|
unstable.
