Ted Yu created ZOOKEEPER-2384: --------------------------------- Summary: Support atomic increment / decrement of znode value Key: ZOOKEEPER-2384 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2384 Project: ZooKeeper Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Ted Yu
Use case is to store reference count (integer type) in znode. It is desirable to provide support for atomic increment / decrement of the znode value. Suggestion from Flavio: you can read the znode, keep the version of the znode, update the value, write back conditionally. The condition for the setData operation to succeed is that the version is the same that it read While the above is feasible, developer has to implement retry logic him/herself. It is not easy to combine increment / decrement with other operations using multi. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
