Hi,

Following the article on sharded counter, I decided to extended it a
bit to add a function that returns the current count and increments
the counter.

Here's the function:

def get_count_and_increment(name):
  config = GeneralCounterShardConfig.get_or_insert(name, name=name)
  def txn():
    total = memcache.get(name)
    if total is None:
      total = 0
      for i in range(1, config.num_shards):
        counter = GeneralCounterShard.get_by_key_name(name + str(i))
        if counter is not None:
          total += counter.count
      memcache.add(name, str(total), 60)

    index = random.randint(0, config.num_shards - 1)
    shard_name = name + str(index)
    counter = GeneralCounterShard.get_by_key_name(shard_name)
    if counter is None:
      counter = GeneralCounterShard(key_name=shard_name, name=name)
    counter.count += 1
    counter.put()
    memcache.incr(name)
    return total

  return db.run_in_transaction(txn)

It works fine on the dev_server but on the production servers it
throws the following error:
BadRequestError: can't operate on multiple entity groups in a single
transaction.

Can anyone give me a pointer?

Thanks
