consistency in ACID essentially means that the data should be a in a consistent state before and after the transaction i.e., it should satisfy all DB constraints.
DB helps in some cases with things like constraints.. but DB is not responsible for consistency. It is the application developer who specifies what is a consistent state and then in a transaction makes sure those notion of consistency is maintained. Like a debit row will have a corresponding credit row.
Thank you for the informative videos. I have a doubt at 35:00. You said that all participants know about each other. So in 2 PC, suppose TC sends commit msg to one participant and then fails, meaning only 1 out of two participants got the commit msg. Then in this case, 2PC should not be blocking the transaction as the Participants are aware of each other's status. Thanks
@aarti in this scenario, there can still be issues with 2PC. For example, if the coordinator fails after sending the commit message to one participant but before the first participant can inform the second participant, the second participant might not know whether to commit or abort, potentially leading to inconsistencies.
Hi, great video overall, though I find a gap in the explanation. In the traditional Two-Phase Commit (2PC) protocol, participants do not communicate directly with each other; they only communicate with the Transaction Coordinator (TC). This is why, 3 PC introduces additional complexity (coordinating between participants). If participant start communicating between each other in both, then 2PC and 3 PC are not much different.
hi, i am in-line with you and i mentioned the same in the video. I double the video and 27:29 i explicitly mentioned, participants can not take their own decision (the blocked state).
if participants can communicate with each other, then why is there a blocking phase in 2PC? Since a participant can check with others regarding the final decision and act accordingly
Hi Shreyansh , just a small doubt . How does pre-commit solve the problem in 3 phase , it can be done the same way in 2 phase only . If participants have information of each other and in 2 phase algorithm only they didn't got any COMMIT message ( coordinator went down before 2nd phase only ) , they can abort there only right ?
From what I understand, if in 2-phase commit, lets say the Commit message is received by first participant and the first participant commits, then both coordinator and first participant fail, the other participants will be on-hold/blocking since they haven't received commit messages yet(as coordinator failed after sending to first participant) and cannot even query the first participant to know if it committed or not, since the first participant also failed along with the coordinator. The 3-phase commit solves exactly this problem by the addition of an in-between prepared-to-commit step.
@@doingsneakypeakylike This same problem can arise in 3 phase protocol as well - what if TC sends the pre commit message to first participant and then TC fails along with the first participant. Now none of the participants know what to do - they will remain blocked.
5:36 One transaction should not be locking another transaction. Ideally, only row-level locks should be used to maximize concurrency. If both transactions are accessing the same row, an Exclusive lock should be applied to ensure data integrity. However, if the isolation level is set to Serializable, transactions might still lock each other to maintain consistency and prevent issues like phantom reads.
Hi Shreyansh, Great video. One doubt, in 2pc if the commit msg is lost, since services can talk to each other it can ask other services if they have received the commit msgs if yes than continue with commit or abort. Why go for 3PC?
Thankyou for the nice explanation. Could you please elaborate more on how the participating MSs enquire each other about decision taken by TC? Furthermore, if participating MSs can enquire each other if they have received decision from TC then isn't it a good idea in 2PC that the MSs can abort the transaction and release the lock on the corresponding rows, thus reducing the blocking behaviour? And when the TC comes up again it can check the incompleted transactions (like the above scenario where even before taking decision the TC went down) and discard them.
What if pre-commit msg sent from co-ordinator fails? Isn't this same as commit msg from co-ordinator fails in 2PC and participant is waiting for what to do ? If participants can talk to each other whether other participants received commit msg or not in both 2PC and 3PC, how 3 PC solves the problem of 2PC(commit msg lost)?
consider in 2pc if it sents a commit msg to one microservice and the msg has lost in other microservice even though the particpants can talk to each othere due to this inconsitency the particpant will unable to make the decision which will cause deadlock in case of 3pc even if they msg has lost as it is sharing the log(non blocking one) the particpant can still make the decision hope this is helpful
Suggestion: please try laser pen and more pictorial reprresentation and will be great if used tab to write down things properly or just keep a slide of it
Hi Shreyansh, You have explained it very well. I have few doubts here. I browsed these doubts all over the internet and I did not get proper answer in GPT as well. 1. What if the paricipants have multiple replicas ? How co-ordinator will make sure the prepare and commit request will always hit the same replica ? 2. I am thinking out this doubt in Java/Spring Implementation. I know transactions can be created using Transaction Annotation and a same thread will work until the transaction is committed. Once participant creates local transaction, it must be in a new transaction thread. So how this transaction thread is stopped from committing and how it commits after receiving the external request(http thread) from co-ordinator since both threads are different. In simple terms, how the two different threads are communicated ? one is new http thread(prepare or commit) and already created transaction thread ? I hope the understanding of doubt is clear. Please let me know if there is a problem. I will elaborate maybe. I am badly searching for the doubts.
I have a small doubt regarding the Three-Phase Commit (3PC) protocol: If the coordinator fails after sending the 'CanCommit' requests in 3PC, how is this scenario effectively managed differently from the Two-Phase Commit (2PC) protocol, where a similar failure leads to a blocking issue?
amazing video , some doubt though :- 1. Why cant we have the timeout at the decision phase during the 2 phase commit (like we have in the voting phase, where if the participant doesn't receive the prepared message form coordinator within the given amount of time, it goes for timeout, and thus abort) if the same would had been applied to the decision phase of 2PhaseLocking, then there was no need of 3 Phase commit procedure) 2. In SAGA pattern, we are committing at every service, and not waiting for all other dependent services to complete, what if the child transaction fails, then it will publish the failure message in queue, but we had already committed, then how will the microservices which comiited long time back , will rollback now?......wouldn't it create an issue ?
1. Timeout logic would be risky during decision phase. Because as I mentioned what if one Participant got the commit msg from coordinator but other participant haven't received any msg, so it can not just abort after time out. Bcoz possible that some participant already got the msg and done the commit. 2. In SAGA no txn rollback happen. But revert of what you have done before that happens. For example: DR. of money happens and commited also and let's say Credit Fails later point, so it will do revert of Debit operation on previous account on which debit happened.
Consider this scenario -> Coordinator sent a commit message to all the participants but didn't get commit success from 1 participant. Now it tries to send the abort to all the participants and just before sending the, it goes down. 1. Failed participant will keep the lock on that row or number of rows until the coordinator goes up and send the abort message to release the lock. Right? 2. Are the rest of the participants going to wait? (a) -> If yes, then why? (b)-> If not, say a new transaction starts on the same row in any of the participants and the co-ordinator sends an abort message now. What sort of handling would be there now for the ongoing transaction and the previous transaction?
Once Coordinator sent the Commit msg, there is no way back. No abort msg it can send. (Even it don't get the done msg from Participant). It's participant responsibility that once it's up, ask coordinator what it should do for the txn. But there is no abort after the commit msg sent.
2 phase commit is a blocking protocol because the 'commit' phase keeps waiting forever for some signal from co-originator right ? instead of introducing three phase commit to solve this problem, one simple work around was to introduce 'timeout' for participants in 'commit' phase as well (just like 'timeout' in 'prepare' phase). correct ?
Timeout logic would be risky during decision phase. Because as I mentioned what if one Participant got the commit msg from coordinator but other participant haven't received any msg, so it can not just abort after time out. Bcoz possible that some participant already got the msg and done the commit
@@ConceptandCoding got it thanks. Just a feedback, since many people got this doubt, it would have been good if you would have included this point in the video itself . Again thanks for video. Much appreciated. Have a good day
These are not 2 different databases right. I mean order and inventory at the end are in the same DB right. Just that we are trying to update into the same database from two different microservices as we are talking about having different transaction mgr handeling these transactions. Follow up ques: Also if these two tables were in different databases, this solution will still work righy?
In saga pattern let's say we have 2 microservices and we have committed on the 1st microservice and now the commit on 2nd microservice fails. But since they are asynchronous what happens if we get a read call on the 1st microservice before the transaction is reverted?
Generally SAGA pattern is used where Rollback is not possible, we do revert of previous txn. Let's say, if DR txn got completed, it's status could be PENDING. When let's say Credit operation failed, it will publish an event and the previous component will do revert of Debit txn, like it will change the status from PENDING to FAILED. So one thing you should notice here is SAGA is Async in nature, so till the complete flow is not done, we have to keep some status or flag which denotes it. When txn is successful, again the components listen to the events and change the status to SUCCESS. There are 2 types of SAGA pattern, i have explained in SAGA pattern video, kindly have a look.
@@ConceptandCoding in Sagas can there not be staleness in the final data? If two concurrent transactions start at the same time they both will read the same initial value but at the end if both are successful both would override each other's value (without knowing there was another Saga transaction going on in parallel). Any idea how should we deal with that, thanks for the video btw!!
in 2pc also, once one participant gets a message in decision phase, (say commit) and other participant fails to receive a message from coordinator due to failure. P1 and P2 can talk to each other, and since P1 got the message to commit, P2 also can safely commit right? In this case 2pc will also become a non blocking protocol. Likewise, if both p1 and p2 didnt receive anything, we can safely abort.
One doubt in SAGA desing pattern @Shrayansh Since each local transaction does commit and move on next service and then complete its transaction and do commit. Suppose last microservice get failed, you said it generate some sort of event which let all the previous transaction to be rolled back. But how come it happen since for all the previous transaction we have done commit. so those are already persisted to the db memory.
correct, so its kind of reversing the txn, understand with this, 1st service has persisted the txn but with Pending status, only with Success event msg from service B it will change the status to Completed else any Fail event, it will lead to change the status to Failed or something. Hope that clarifies
Shreyansh one thing like can u please pin some of the common doubts asked so that u also need not to answer every time and we also need not to see every chat. Just a suggestion. Also good content 🎉
One thing I am confused about is in 3 PC you said it's nonblocking because systems can communicate with each other and take decisions in case a pre-commit message is not received. Then why can't they do the same thing on 2 PC if the commit message is not received?
Hi Sir, first of all, thank you for the nice content it really helps me to learn something new. I have one doubt may you or anyone can help to understand it? As in Phase 1 if any message ('Prepare', 'OK', 'NO') is lost then both coordinator and participant have a timeout mechanism. please correct me if my understanding is wrong? Then 2nd phase when the commit message is lost, why was it blocked, and why is Transaction Coordinator not timeout as it did in phase 1? Please help to clarify this doubt.
In Springboot all these can be done with the help of only 1 annotation - @Transactional on a class or method , right ? Very nice video, crystal clear !!
Hi Shrayansh, What will happen in 2PL if a participant node fails after receiving the commit message and does not ever recovers. Will we wait indefinitely or rollback transaction on other participant nodes ?

supppose in 2pc a commit msg has been sen to one microservice and Transaction coordinator fails to send the msg to another microservice as the transaction is already performed at one microservice what would happend or how can he revert back
I didnt understand the need of 3PC over 2PC and what its actually solving when in case of 2PC also they can communicate with each other and eventually they can abort the process just as in 3PC case
Sir, what happens in case of SAGA pattern, if service 1 commited transaction then service 2(Async call) Transaction got failed? we have to write custom rollback logic for that or manually delete/update?
@@ConceptandCoding Thanks, I want to know one thing there are many videos is locked, if join the community and paid then I can only access that video or can access all locked videos. Also please let me know the some platform name where I can ask such type of question and videos replated ques, Thanks
for your first question, i believe the answer is no. the reason is mentioned in 37:45 2pc and 3pc is synchronous and they block db while processing, but the SAGA is opposite of it.
After TC has sent the COMMIT msg, then all the participants have to commit. If one participant failed while commit, it has to retry. There is no way back after this
@@ConceptandCoding I believe, SAGA seems more stable and preferred solution then. But yes multiple MQs can increase the costing as compared to single TC service. Otherwise everything seems more simplistic and fault tolerant in Saga pattern.
@@ConceptandCoding I mean, just by having few microservices, a gateway, a redis would qualify my ecosystem to be cloud native or are there some specifications for it or is it simply a buzzword. What exactly makes an app cloud native.
We have seen cloud-enabled apps that have one of their services deployed over cloud, but cloud-native one, it's somewhat related to cloud computing architecture. So if you have got bandwidth you can teach us this stuff
@@kumarashutosh229 understood thanks for the details, i get your point now. I will add the complete overview which i understand. And share the short video of it.
Thanks for this video.. But to be honest didn't get much clarity when any of the MS or Coordinator goes down in 2 phase commit.. How it read from logs file considering logs file had tons of records in real world application... and if any of these MS let say fail to responded.. how to get a response from Coordinator log files which Coordinator already send a abort request to another instance of that same MS.
That's depends on each application how they want to maintain the log file. For example: - i can use DB to store it and keep on cleaning it. Or - i can create txn I'd wise log file and same i can delete it once txn is completed. So it's upto each and every application how they want to log the data.
i think the answer to the 2nd part of your query would be that, as the MS didn't responded, after some timeout, coordinator will publish abort to all MS, when the MS which was down, will see this, and rollback too.
@@DurgaShiva7574 Ok so you are saying in failed state this MS receive that message from coordinator, That message let say queued somewhere and when this MS goes up then can use this queued message for further Rollback ?
@@ankitgupta-ph4nk Great approach, but it all depends on how the infra is made, it can also be the case that, no failure message is queued, but , when the MS which was down, when it comes up, it will poll for the transaction status from the coordinator, and thus, will roll-back
Redo this. this is quite confusing. You should have discussed message exchange between participants earlier itself. Also, felt 3-PC was not explained well.
Hi Shreyansh, Thanks for the great video. I have a query in 3 phase commit, Totally understood, it helps to tackle the blocking issue likewise in 2 phase commit, what if blocking happens before the pre-commit(or right after the prepare TC get fails) in 3 phase commit, that will be same condition as blocking in 2 phase commit. Could you please help me with this confusion. Thanks in advance!!

Hi Shagun, believe me it would be very helpful, if you make your notes in your own way after understanding.
That's why i do not believe in notes sharing.
It would be helpful in long run buddy.
Hi Shreyansh, great videos. Can you tell me what further videos you plan to bring in the hld playlist, as these 21 videos seem to be more setting up basics. Would you have subsequent videos with real hld questions?
Yes, i have shared in the first roadmap video.
supppose in 2pc a commit msg has been sen to one microservice and Transaction coordinator fails to send the msg to another microservice as the transaction is already performed at one microservice what would happend or how can he revert back
I didnt understand the need of 3PC over 2PC and what its actually solving when in case of 2PC also they can communicate with each other and eventually they can abort the process just as in 3PC case
The difference is actually between the pre-phase: commit message and commit phase : commit message.
can u please share notes of this this and previous lecture
when are the other videos coming?
i will add more HLD videos in Nov.
Hey why some of the old LLD videos which were free for everyone are now members only?
Sir, what happens in case of SAGA pattern, if service 1 commited transaction then service 2(Async call) Transaction got failed? we have to write custom rollback logic for that or manually delete/update?
compensating transaction has to be done to reverse what service 1 did.
Sorry for the noob question, which video do we have cache eviction in? I cant find it.
I don't think it's uploaded yet.
Sir, How to implement transaction coordinator?
Thanks Sir, Is it the second part of 19th video ?
Cache eviction is LLD concept, i will put in LLD playlist.
@@ConceptandCoding Thanks, I want to know one thing there are many videos is locked, if join the community and paid then I can only access that video or can access all locked videos. Also please let me know the some platform name where I can ask such type of question and videos replated ques, Thanks
Cover JUnit and architecture patterns if possible
Hi Which tool are you using to record and type the session?
wacom tab
That participants inter communication can be done in 2 phase itself ?
If there is a coordinator for 2 microservice, will it not be orchestrator pattern, which is type of SAGA pattern?
Also, is gateway pattern also type of orchestrator pattern? since gateway takes decision where request will go?
for your first question, i believe the answer is no.
the reason is mentioned in 37:45
2pc and 3pc is synchronous and they block db while processing, but the SAGA is opposite of it.
In 2 PC ..
Suppose, in phase 2, commit done is replied by 1 participant, but another participant failed to commit, then ?
After TC has sent the COMMIT msg, then all the participants have to commit.
If one participant failed while commit, it has to retry. There is no way back after this
@@ConceptandCoding I believe, SAGA seems more stable and preferred solution then. But yes multiple MQs can increase the costing as compared to single TC service. Otherwise everything seems more simplistic and fault tolerant in Saga pattern.
@@r4ravi4u yes, but it can not be applied in all usecase, where real time in ongoing txn you need the transactional property
Wondering if you could throw some light on modules of a cloud native apps. When can you say, now my app is fully cloud native.
Could you please elaborate what do you mean by module of cloud native buddy
@@ConceptandCoding I mean, just by having few microservices, a gateway, a redis would qualify my ecosystem to be cloud native or are there some specifications for it or is it simply a buzzword. What exactly makes an app cloud native.
We have seen cloud-enabled apps that have one of their services deployed over cloud, but cloud-native one, it's somewhat related to cloud computing architecture. So if you have got bandwidth you can teach us this stuff
@@kumarashutosh229 understood thanks for the details, i get your point now. I will add the complete overview which i understand. And share the short video of it.
Your explanation is not precise...mixed up and confused to me with 2ph and 3ph
Thanks for this video.. But to be honest didn't get much clarity when any of the MS or Coordinator goes down in 2 phase commit..
How it read from logs file considering logs file had tons of records in real world application...
and if any of these MS let say fail to responded.. how to get a response from Coordinator log files which Coordinator already send a abort request to another instance of that same MS.
That's depends on each application how they want to maintain the log file.
For example:
- i can use DB to store it and keep on cleaning it.
Or
- i can create txn I'd wise log file and same i can delete it once txn is completed.
So it's upto each and every application how they want to log the data.
@@ConceptandCoding I got this..Thanks !!
i think the answer to the 2nd part of your query would be that, as the MS didn't responded, after some timeout, coordinator will publish abort to all MS, when the MS which was down, will see this, and rollback too.
@@DurgaShiva7574 Ok so you are saying in failed state this MS receive that message from coordinator, That message let say queued somewhere and when this MS goes up then can use this queued message for further Rollback ?
@@ankitgupta-ph4nk Great approach, but it all depends on how the infra is made, it can also be the case that, no failure message is queued, but , when the MS which was down, when it comes up, it will poll for the transaction status from the coordinator, and thus, will roll-back
i dont undestand the difference between 2pc and 3pc ?
can you please provide notes also of these topics??
Members hoke bhi reply nhi deta hai
Aur notes bhi nhi😢
Redo this. this is quite confusing. You should have discussed message exchange between participants earlier itself. Also, felt 3-PC was not explained well.
Hi Shreyansh,
Thanks for the great video.
I have a query in 3 phase commit,
Totally understood, it helps to tackle the blocking issue likewise in 2 phase commit, what if blocking happens before the pre-commit(or right after the prepare TC get fails) in 3 phase commit, that will be same condition as blocking in 2 phase commit.
Could you please help me with this confusion.
Thanks in advance!!
Ack of the question
Every dip is an opportunity to buy more BTC!
what if done message failed?
Doesn't matter, after sometime, coordinator will close the txn.
Better to have blogs to be written
❤
👍👍
Please provide the pdf
there's unclear about the explaination of "pre-commit phase" of 3PC.
