how to handle non-atomicity of hash table modify and/or other mutations

[thedavidmeister]

currently in modify:

• committing a pair
• flagging the old pair as modified
• status linking the old pair to the new pair

are three independent actions that can all fail, there's no check/rollback logic and it's unclear how to recover atm

Has this been resolved?

... not really ... this is something we want to revisit in the new year, ping @artbrock
