             Summary: Support atomic increment / decrement of znode value
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-2384
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2384
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ted Yu


Use case is to store reference count (integer type) in znode.

It is desirable to provide support for atomic increment / decrement of the 
znode value.

Suggestion from Flavio:

you can read the znode, keep the version of the znode, update the value, write 
back conditionally. The condition for the setData operation to succeed is that 
the version is the same that it read

While the above is feasible, developer has to implement retry logic 
him/herself. It is not easy to combine increment / decrement with other 
operations using multi.
