When I delete large temporary files (BAMs/FASTQs/etc) from a workspace I delete the corresponding attributes using update_entity calls (https://api.firecloud.org/#!/Entities/update_entity). I parallelize these 10-20x, since the process takes forever otherwise. At least 10% of the calls fail, however (also at lower throughput), and this was reproducibly the case over the last few days. Is this the wrong approach for updating/deleting entity attributes?
