Alternator's various write operations have different code paths for the different write isolation modes. Because most of the test suite runs in only a single write mode (currently - only_rmw_uses_lwt), we already introduced a test file test/alternator/test_write_isolation.py for checking the different write operations in *all* four write isolation modes. But we missed testing one write operation - BatchWriteItem. This operation isn't very "interesting" because it doesn't support *any* read-modify-option option (it doesn't support UpdateExpression, ConditionExpression or ReturnValues), but even without those, the pure write code still has different code paths with and without LWT, and should be tested. So we add the missing test here - and it passes. In issue #28439 we discovered a bug that can be seen in Alternator Streams in the case of BatchWriteItem with multiple writes to the same partition and always_use_lwt mode. The fact that the test added here passes shows that the bug is NOT in BatchWriteItem itself, which works correctly in this case - but only in the Alternator Streams layer.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
