Feature Request: Increment/Decrement field values like Firestore

@Juri

First solution would still have problems if 999 users like something at the same time.

I am not sure, as definitely not an expert on how Dgraph works behind the scenes.

@Juri

With that solution, to get the total like count, I would have to aggregate/count it every time i request it. is that right?

Correct, but because Dgraph uses sharding, I don’t believe this would be a problem.

I think Dgraph is meant to be scalable in either case, but not an expert on Badger.

@Juri

features in 5 years?

I was being sarcastic here since we have to beg for any kind of communication or update from the Dgraph team.

That being said, I am a huge fan of the product.
