|
||
Berkeley DB provides support for distributed transactions using the two-phase commit protocol
|
||
via its <a href="../api_reference/C/txnprepare.html" class="olink">DB_TXN->prepare()</a> interfaces.
|
||
The <a href="../api_reference/C/txnprepare.html" class="olink">DB_TXN->prepare()</a> method performs the first phase of a
|
||
two-phase commit, flushing the log to disk, and associating a global
|
||
transaction ID with the underlying Berkeley DB transaction.
|
||
This global transaction ID is used by the global transaction manager to
|
||
identify the Berkeley DB transaction, and will be returned by the
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/txnrecover.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->txn_recover()</a> method when it is called during recovery.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
However, Berkeley DB does not perform distributed deadlock detection.
|
||
Instead, when being used as an XA resource manager, Berkeley DB acquires all locks
|
||
in a non-blocking mode. This results in pre-emptive abort of transactions that have the potential to deadlock.
|
||
While this can lead to more transactions being aborted than is strictly necessary,
|
||
it avoids system-wide hanging due to distributed deadlocks.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>When using distributed transactions, there is no way to perform
|
||
hot backups of multiple environments and guarantee that the backups
|
||
are globally transaction-consistent across these multiple environments.
|
||
If backups are desired, then all write transactions should be suspended;
|
||
that is, active write transactions must be allowed to complete and no
|
||
new write transactions should be begun. Once there are no active write
|
||
transactions, the logs may be copied for backup purposes and the backup
|
||
will be consistent across the multiple environments.</p>
