There are 2 consistency problems: metadata and data.
Metadata is solved by noac. And yes, some MPI programs do things like
"node 0 writes out a bunch of files, then tells all the other nodes to
read one file each." This means that you have about 1/100 of a second
window between creation on one client and reading on a different client.
Data consistency is solved by file locking.
