The method you can use is called Optimistic Concurrency. Basically the idea is pretty simple, you need additional field which will represent document's version. It might be any kind of timestamp or simple number representing version.



db.col.save({ _id:1,  version: 1, field: "A" })


Then both client X and Y retrieve that document. Client X updates to A1 incrementing version



db.col.update({ _id: 1, version: 1 }, { $set: { field: "A1", version: 2 } }) // or $inc


It works since both matching conditions are fine. Then client Y tries to set A2 using the same code



db.col.update({ _id: 1, version: 1 }, { $set: { field: "A2", version: 2 } })


But this will give you following result:



WriteResult({ "nMatched" : 0, "nUpserted" : 0, "nModified" : 0 })


Which means that no document was modified since specified version does not match the one in the database.



Then you can handle that in your logic reloading that document for client Y or throwing some sort of concurrency exception.
