DataSet API: APPEND failure behavior?

Background
I posted a question earlier that had way too many parts, so I'm breaking out individual questions. Hopefully, these are easier to answer now and easier for other people to discover later. I can figure much of this out by testing myself, but am hoping others already know and can answer without much effort.

 

Question
How do people manage APPEND to avoid duplicates and gaps? We've got a custom concurrency ID (sequence number) system in place for a custom sync tool, so we're able to track what we have and have not posted. But this assumes that we can get accurate feedback from the API about success and failure. For example, if we push 200 rows and 1 fails, is there a ROLLBACK, or does Domo insert 199 rows?

 

Thank you.
