title: Can I atomically increment a column value in BigTable?
body: <p>Does BigTable support atomic increment operations similar to <code>INCR</code> in Redis?</p>
  
  <p>There is this function in the Golang library for BT - <a href="https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go/bigtable#ReadModifyWrite.Increment" rel="noreferrer">https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go/bigtable#ReadModifyWrite.Increment</a>. However, I can see a situation where two instances of an app try to increment at the same time, but it's only incremented once due to a race condition. </p>
