# == What is Optimistic Locking
#
# Optimistic locking allows multiple users to access the same record for edits, and assumes a minimum of
# conflicts with the data. It does this by checking whether another process has made changes to a record since
# it was opened, an ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError exception is thrown if that has occurred
# and the update is ignored.
#
# Check out ActiveRecord::Locking::Pessimistic for an alternative.
#
# == Usage
#
# Active Record supports optimistic locking if the +lock_version+ field is present. Each update to the
# record increments the +lock_version+ column and the locking facilities ensure that records instantiated twice
# will let the last one saved raise a +StaleObjectError+ if the first was also updated. Example:
#
# p1 = Person.find(1)
# p2 = Person.find(1)
#
# p1.first_name = "Michael"
# p1.save
#
# p2.first_name = "should fail"
# p2.save # Raises an ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError
#
# Optimistic locking will also check for stale data when objects are destroyed. Example:
#
# p1 = Person.find(1)
# p2 = Person.find(1)
#
# p1.first_name = "Michael"
# p1.save
#
# p2.destroy # Raises an ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError
#
# You're then responsible for dealing with the conflict by rescuing the exception and either rolling back, merging,
# or otherwise apply the business logic needed to resolve the conflict.
#
# This locking mechanism will function inside a single Ruby process. To make it work across all
# web requests, the recommended approach is to add +lock_version+ as a hidden field to your form.
#
# This behavior can be turned off by setting ActiveRecord::Base.lock_optimistically = false.
# To override the name of the +lock_version+ column, set the locking_column class attribute:
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# self.locking_column = :lock_person
# end
#
# Please note that the optimistic locking will be ignored if you update the
# locking column's value.
