Description
The goal of this issue is to help users manage server side counters more easily.
We could leverage findAndUpdate
that issues an update with $inc
, upsert
and ReturnDocument.AFTER
to maintain a counter document in a specific collection obtaining the incremented value as outlined below.
return mongoTemplate.execute("sequence_collection", collection -> {
return collection.findOneAndUpdate(new Document("_id", sequenceName), new Document("$inc", new Document("count", 1)), new FindOneAndUpdateOptions().returnDocument(ReturnDocument.AFTER)).getLong("count");
});
Wrapping the above in something like a MongoSequence
would allow easy access.
This issue is somehow related to #1842 which IMO should be addressed on a broader basis in data-commons.
