Description

api: firestore type: feature request

I'm frustrating with the inability to count my documents in a collection. it is described here that in Java you can count the documents when you get the CollectionReference and execute the count().get().get().getCount() . I'm using version 3.9.0 of com.google.cloud:google-cloud-firestore and there in CollectionReference I don't see any implementation of count(). Also here the class doesn't have the count() method aswell.

So I have a question - will count() be available soon? Also is there any workaround how I can count my documents in my collection? Thank you.
