Distributed Lock

Simple Distributed Lock Implementation​

  1. When we want to acquire the lock, we run INCR.
  2. If the response is 1, we have acquired the lock.
  3. If the response > 1 (i.e. someone else has acquired the lock), we wait and retry again later.
  4. When we want to release the lock, we run DEL to delete the key.
