Comment 1 for bug 1889661

this is a very detailed bug report, thank you! I think this is describing the same issue as https://bugs.launchpad.net/swift/+bug/1818931

I think roughly we know how the code should work (we fixed a similar issue for DELETE https://bugs.launchpad.net/swift/+bug/1318375) but I haven't gotten any further than the failing unittest.

I normally discourage the use of write affinity - can you turn it off in your multi-datacenter deployment?
