today the only way to have an HA metastore is to deploy a postgres cluster (ideally setup with redundancy itself). this is a pain point, people would often prefer to use a simpler to setup S3 metastore if that provided the same level of availability
Describe the solution you'd like
provide a configuration option to allow concurrently running S3 metastores. This can be achieved by leveraging S3 conditional writes. As this is not something all alternative S3 providers supports, this should be optional, and we should, if possible, detect if the option is enabled but the provider doesn't support it (for instance, write to a random object, overwrite it with a conditional write that should fail, and verify it does indeed)
Describe alternatives you've considered
people can already use the postgres metastore, or have a non replicated metastore
