Description

according to https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs-object-store/issues/144, copy is suppose to be atomic. However, currently copy is not atomic and we use copy to tmp file and rename to dest as a workaround. Clean up these workarounds once https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs-object-store/issues/144 land

Contributor guide

Research direction
Understand the upstream change in apache/arrow rs object store #144 that makes copy atomic, then remove the workaround that uses copy to temp and rename to dest in the current codebase.
