Atomic operations in azure table storage

Question

I am looking to implement a page view counter in azure table storage. If say two users visit the page at the same time, and the current value on PageViews = 100, is it guara

Answer 1

I came along with the same question. With Azure python library, I'm developing a simple counter increment using eTag and If-Match instead of lock. The basic idea is to retry to increase the counter until the update successfully runs under a certain criteria, which is no other updates interfere this running update. If the request of updates are heavy, sharding should be invoked.
