Interface ICounter

All Known Implementing Classes:

BTree.Counter, BTree.PartitionedCounter, ReadOnlyCounter

public interface ICounter

An interface for a counter. Mutable btrees expose mutable counters while read-only btrees do not. Like the mutable BTree, the mutable counter is NOT thread-safe. An unpartitioned index exposes a single counter for the entire index. A partitioned index exposes a counter per index partition and the partition identified forms the high int32 for the counter.
