final class GCounter extends DeltaReplicatedData with ReplicatedDelta with ReplicatedDataSerialization with RemovedNodePruning with FastMerge

Implements a 'Growing Counter' CRDT, also called a 'G-Counter'.

It is described in the paper A comprehensive study of Convergent and Commutative Replicated Data Types.

A G-Counter is a increment-only counter (inspired by vector clocks) in which only increment and merge are possible. Incrementing the counter adds 1 to the count for the current node. Divergent histories are resolved by taking the maximum count for each node (like a vector clock merge). The value of the counter is the sum of all node counts.

This class is immutable, i.e. "modifying" methods return a new instance.

Type Members

  1. type D = GCounter

    The type of the delta.

    The type of the delta. To be specified by subclass. It may be the same type as T or a different type if needed. For example GSet uses the same type and ORSet uses different types.

  2. type T = GCounter

    The type of the concrete implementation, e.g.

    The type of the concrete implementation, e.g. GSet[A]. To be specified by subclass.

  8. val delta: Option[GCounter]

    The accumulated delta of mutator operations since previous #resetDelta.

    The accumulated delta of mutator operations since previous #resetDelta. When the Replicator invokes the modify function of the Update message and the user code is invoking one or more mutator operations the data is collecting the delta of the operations and makes it available for the Replicator with the #delta accessor. The modify function shall still return the full state in the same way as ReplicatedData without support for deltas.

  29. def resetDelta: GCounter

    Reset collection of deltas from mutator operations.

    Reset collection of deltas from mutator operations.

When the Replicator has grabbed the delta it will invoke this method to get a clean data instance without the delta.
