分布式计数器

许多实时应用都有作为计数器的文档。例如，您可能会统计某个帖子的“顶”次数或某件商品的“收藏”数。

在 Cloud Firestore 中，您无法以不受限制的速率更新单个文档。如果您有一个基于单个文档的计数器并将其计数设为频繁更新，那么您的文档更新迟早会出现争用问题。请参阅单个文档的更新。

解决方案：分布式计数器

为了能够更频繁地更新计数器，您可以创建分布式计数器。 每个计数器都是一个包含“碎片”子集合的文档，计数器的值就是这些碎片值的总和。

写入吞吐量随碎片数量线性增长，因此具有 10 个碎片的分布式计数器可以处理的写入量是传统计数器的 10 倍。

限制

上述解决方案是在 Cloud Firestore 中创建共享计数器的一种可灵活伸缩的方式，但您应该了解以下限制：

• 碎片数 - 碎片数量决定了分布式计数器的性能。如果碎片太少，某些事务可能需要重试才能成功，这会减慢写入速度。如果碎片太多，读取速度会减慢，费用也会增加。 您可通过以下方法缩减读取费用：将计数器总计值保存在一个以较慢频率更新的独立汇总文档中，并让客户端从该文档中获取总计值。其弊端是客户端必须等待汇总文档更新，而不是一有更新发生便立即读取所有碎片来计算总计值。
• 费用 - 由于必须加载整个碎片子集合，读取计数器值的费用随碎片数量线性增加。
