Hi All, What are some use cases of memcache incr & decr? I just don't see where a distributed atomic increment/decrement function would be useful when you know it could be wiped and reset at any point. People suggest periodically saving a memcache counter back to the datastore, but this guarantees nothing.
Of course I can see the use of a monotonically changing distributed counter. The reason I ask is for education purposes. Why did Google engineers bother to implement this functionality? There must be a good rationale I am not aware of. Best wishes, Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
