Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method of performing snapshot isolation in distributed databases. Each node stores local snapshot information that enforces snapshot isolation for that node. The method includes partially processing a distributed transaction by a first node, receiving a global commit identifier from a coordinator, and continuing to process the distributed transaction, by the first node and a second node, in accordance with the global commit identifier.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method of performing snapshot isolation in distributed databases, comprising: implementing, on a plurality of hardware devices, a plurality of nodes that implement a distributed database; storing, by the plurality of nodes, a plurality of local snapshot information, wherein for a particular node a corresponding local snapshot information enforces snapshot isolation for the particular node; partially processing, by a first node of t…
