Problem
Buildfarm workers might receive another write request while one is already in progress for a digest with the exact same input. This situation arises primarily due to client-side timeouts, and the worker has not yet closed or canceled the initial request. Each write request has a unique ID, so these situations can only occur during retries.
Currently, if a worker receives a duplicate request, it blocks the second request until the first one is finished or canceled. During this blocked period, buildfarm-server continues to send data, which can accumulate in the socket buffer, significantly slowing down the worker. This situation commonly occurs at peak traffic, especially when the workers are experiencing significant CPU usage.
Solution
Instead of waiting for the first request to complete and blocking the second request, throw an Abort error for the second request immediately.
