Distributed Locking (Lease Lock)

[mumby0168]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be really great if the library could offer an opt-int repository that would allow a document to be inserted that could act as a lock maybe into something called a lease container. The library could abstract a nice and simple API over this.

Describe the solution you'd like Something that allows a distributed lock to be used with cosmos DB, with little effort from the user's side.

Describe alternatives you've considered Implementing this standalone, or maybe as a separate package.

• Etaga will need to be used in order to do this effectively
