Yes, absolutely. There are no atomic compare-and-set operations available from Riak, regardless of headers and R/W values. Conditional HTTP requests are present because they are "free" due to Webmachine, and they are sometimes useful, but should not be seen as semantically very different from the client doing a read itself to decide whether to write. -Justin _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
