Abstract:
Technologies are described for performing replication within a database environment. Where a database transaction is replicated at multiple replica nodes, a replica node is selected as a coordinator replica node for the transaction. The other replica node or nodes are designated as follower replica nodes for the transaction. A follower replica node sends the coordinator replica node a precommit notification when the follower replica node has precommitted the transaction. The coordinator replica node sends the follower replica node a postcommit notification to commit the transaction when the transaction has been precommitted by all of the replica nodes to which the transaction is to be replicated.
Abstract:
Technologies are provided for reducing or eliminating transaction consistency anomalies that can occur during data replication, such as during database table replication. For example, commit values can be used to coordinate requests so that the requests are not performed on database tables with inconsistent data.
