Contatori distribuiti

Molte app in tempo reale hanno documenti che fungono da contatori. Ad esempio, potresti contare i "Mi piace" su un post o i "Preferiti" di un determinato elemento.

In Cloud Firestore, non puoi aggiornare un singolo documento a una frequenza illimitata. Se hai un contatore basato su un singolo documento e incrementi abbastanza frequenti, alla fine noterai conflitti sugli aggiornamenti del documento. Consulta Aggiornamenti a un singolo documento.

Soluzione: contatori distribuiti

Per supportare aggiornamenti più frequenti del contatore, crea un contatore distribuito. Ogni contatore è un documento con una sottoraccolta di "chunk" e il valore del contatore è la somma del valore degli chunk.

La velocità effettiva in scrittura aumenta in modo lineare con il numero di shard, pertanto un contatore distribuito con 10 shard può gestire dieci volte più scritture di un contatore tradizionale.

Limitazioni

La soluzione mostrata sopra è un modo scalabile per creare contatori condivisi in Cloud Firestore, ma tieni presente le seguenti limitazioni:

  • Numero di shard: il numero di shard controlla le prestazioni del contatore distribuito. Con un numero troppo ridotto di shard, alcune transazioni potrebbero dover riprovare prima di riuscire, il che rallenta le scritture. Con troppi frammenti, le letture diventano più lente e più costose. Puoi compensare la spesa per le letture mantenendo il totale del contatore in un documento aggregato distinto che viene aggiornato a una cadenza più lenta e facendo in modo che i client leggano da quel documento per ottenere il totale. Il compromesso è che i clienti dovranno attendere l'aggiornamento del documento aggregato anziché calcolare il totale leggendo tutti gli shard immediatamente dopo ogni aggiornamento.
  • Costo: il costo della lettura di un valore del contatore aumenta in modo lineare con il numero di frammenti, poiché è necessario caricare l'intera sottoraccolta di frammenti.
