```csharp
public int MaxMetadataOnlyConflictRetries
```

Gets or sets the maximum number of times a journaling Append, Replace, or Delete operation will refresh its cached WAL ETag and retry in place after observing a metadata-only ETag conflict (for example, a concurrent caller-owned metadata update or generation bump). When the cap is exceeded the storage layer falls back to throwing [InconsistentStateException](/orleans/docs/api/csharp/microsoft.orleans.core/orleans.storage.inconsistentstateexception/) and the journaling layer recovers before retrying. Defaults to 5.
