wondering what the best strategy to achieve atomic updates with
LMDB.
what i am trying to achieve is a read then update atomic action given a
highly concurrent use case, for example, if a key/value pair represents a
counter, how does one increment or decrement the counter atomically.
i am pretty sure mdb_get -> mdv_set sequence is not atomic, wondering if
mdb_cursor_get -> mdv_cursor_put sequence is? perhaps a certain flag is
required on the get action to achieve a lock? in my bdb implementation i
used lockers to achieve this.
Transactions are atomic. Whatever operations you perform in a single
transaction will occur atomically. BDB-style locking is unnecessary.
