Since Jeremiah loves it when I'm pedantic, it bears mentioning that the
list of operations are rolled up immediately (not kept around), grouping by
which partition took the increment. So if I increment by 2 and then by 50,
and the increment goes to different replicas, my counter will look like
[{a, 2}, {b, 50}], for a sum of 52.On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 4:21 PM, Jeremiah Peschka < [email protected]> wrote: > When you 'update' a counter, you send in an increment operation.
