頻繁な分散カウンタをサポートする

多くのリアルタイムアプリにはカウンタとして働くドキュメントがあります。たとえば、投稿の「いいね」や特定のアイテムの「お気に入り」をカウントしたい場合があります。

Firestore では、1 つのドキュメントを無制限の頻度で更新することはできません。単一ドキュメントに基づくカウンタがあり、高い頻度でインクリメントを行うと、最終的にドキュメントの更新で競合が発生します。1 つのドキュメントの更新をご覧ください。

解決策: 分散カウンタ

カウンタをもっと頻繁に更新できるようにするには、分散カウンタを作成します。各分散カウンタは「シャード」のサブコレクションを持つドキュメントであり、そのカウンタの値はシャードの値の合計です。

書き込みスループットはシャードの数に比例して増加するため、10 個のシャードを持つ分散カウンタは従来のカウンタの 10 倍の書き込みを処理できます。

制限事項

上記の解決策は Firestore で共有カウンタを作成するスケーラブルな方法ですが、次の制限に注意する必要があります。

シャードの数 - シャードの数は分散カウンタのパフォーマンスに影響を与えます。シャードが少なすぎると、再試行が必要となるトランザクションが発生し、結果的に書き込みが遅くなります。シャードが多すぎると、読み取り速度が遅くなり、コストがかかります。少ない頻度で更新される別のロールアップドキュメントでカウンタの合計を維持し、合計を取得する際はクライアントにそのドキュメントから読み取らせるようにすることで、読み取りコストを相殺できます。ただし、その反面、クライアントは更新直後にすべてのシャードを読み取って合計を計算することはできなくなります。代わりに、ロールアップドキュメントが更新されるまで待機しなければなりません。
コスト - シャードのサブコレクション全体を読み込まなければならないため、カウンタ値を読み取るコストはシャードの数に比例して増加します。
