Consequences of Conflict Resolution

[javafanboy]

When reading about Conflict Resolution in the doc it is not 100% clear to me if the worst outcome will be that multiple (possibly all) conflicting updates are rolled back or if there in any situations the result can be an invalid metadata or data loss?

The worst outcome will be that conflicting transactions are rolled back - invalid metadata should never be possible and would always indicate a bug in either the code or in the metadata server.

Thanks that sounds reassuring!
