The Java driver has three similar tests (for legacy, sync, and async APIs) that all occasionally fail with the server error:

{
   "ok": 0.0, 
   "code": 246, 
   "codeName": "SnapshotUnavailable"
   "errorLabels": ["TransientTransactionError"], 
   "errmsg": "Unable to read from a snapshot due to pending collection catalog changes; please retry the operation. Snapshot timestamp is Timestamp(1654118095, 84). Collection minimum is Timestamp(1654118095, 86)", 
}

The tests all do the following:

1. drop the collection
2. insert a document into the collection
3. insert a document into the collection within a transaction

Expected results: the insert within a transaction succeeds
Action results: the above error is returned by the server

Questions:

1. What is the root cause of that error?
2. Is there any way to change the test in order to stop the error from occurring?
