[infinispan-dev] Atomic counters / sequences over Hot Rod

[Randall Hauch]

CRDTs, especially PNCounters, could be very valuable here to ensure eventual consistency of the counters. They don’t require total ordering of operations to be maintained, so this reduces the need for coordination and works better when stuff goes wrong. Sending requests more than once is still a problem, but no more so than with normal atomic counters.
