Hi,
My project uses aerospike-client-go/v5 and I implemented a helper function `Create` that invokes client’s `Put` with `CREATE_ONLY` as `RecordExistsAction` in the `WritePolicy`.
But, surprisingly, sometimes I get the `KEY_NOT_FOUND_ERROR`. Is that something expected to happen?

Ah, I’ve just learned that the bin was empty and when that happens Aerospike understands it as a delete and it was trying to delete a record that did not exist. therefore the not found error.
All solved now 👍
