I have an application that accesses a user entity. This entity also contains 
a number of user specific settings that the user can update. Some of those 
settings are updated by different servlets in parallel (for instance 
uploading a profile picture to the blobstore)

I'm having some serious issues keeping everything in sync. If I'm not 
careful, I can easily overwrite updates that have been done in another 
thread.

I have the feeling this is a recurring issue for many GAE application, so 
I'm looking for some best practices of how to deal with it.

In the relational world, often a "version" column is added. Before updating 
a row, the version number in the database is compared to the one in memory. 
I suppose I can implement something like that on GAE too, but I was 
wondering whether there are better/other options available in the NoSQL 
world.


Regards,
Peter
