Hi, I am using counter tables in Cassandra and I want to understand how the concurrent updates to counter table are handled in Cassandra.
There are more than one threads who are responsible for updating the counter for a partition key. Multiple threads can also update the counter for the same key. In case when more than one threads updating the counter for the same key, how Cassandra is handling the race condition? UPDATE cycling.popular_count SET popularity = popularity + 1 WHERE id = 6ab09bec-e68e-48d9-a5f8-97e6fb4c9b47; Are there overheads of using counter tables? Are there alternatives to counter tables?
