gRPC 6 ALREADY_EXISTS vs 9 FAILED_PRECONDITION
Both gRPC 6 (ALREADY_EXISTS) and 9 (FAILED_PRECONDITION) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 6 indicates that the entity that a client attempted to create already exists. For example, a file or directory that the RPC was supposed to create already exists. Meanwhile, 9 means that the operation was rejected because the system is not in a state required for the operation's execution. For example, deleting a non-empty directory.
설명
The entity that a client attempted to create already exists. For example, a file or directory that the RPC was supposed to create already exists.
이 코드를 보게 되는 경우
A create operation failed because a resource with the same unique identifier or name already exists in the system.
해결 방법
Use a different identifier, or switch to an upsert/update operation if overwriting is acceptable. Check for existing resources before creating.
설명
The operation was rejected because the system is not in a state required for the operation's execution. For example, deleting a non-empty directory.
이 코드를 보게 되는 경우
The request is valid on its own, but the system's current state doesn't allow it — like trying to delete a non-empty directory or update a resource that has been modified concurrently.
해결 방법
Bring the system into the required state before retrying. For example, empty the directory first, or re-read the resource to get the latest version before updating.
