Hello everyone,
I have noticed that in latest documentation on Riak data types
(http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/theory/concepts/crdts/#Counters
<http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/theory/concepts/crdts/#Counters>), for
Counters it is not recommended to use them for ordered IDs (UUIDs). Can I
implement g-counters (as described in the CRDT paper) using Riak’s Set
datatype? I am wondering whether that will work out well for my use case.
What I would like to do is to have synchronization of sequence numbers between
multiple src processes that send their inputs to a single centralized process.
I want all the sequence numbers to be unique so that the centralized process
can create an ordering of the input messages based on the sequence numbers.
Thus I would have an integer entry for each src process in the set, and the sum
of all the integers would be my unique id. After the src process writes a value
to the DHT for its corresponding entry, would it then have to read the value
from the DHT in order to make sure it got committed without conflicts?
