    Description

      We have noticed that since enabling the use of WT_CURSOR::modify via the MongoDB updateWithDamages interface, the number of write conflicts returned has increased significantly.

      A particular example is running a YCSB 50/50 read/update workload. The additional conflicts can lead to a reduced performance, since the operations need to be retried.

      We need to investigate why the number of conflicts increased, and hopefully reduce the occurrence.
