Performance of Short-Commit in Extreme Database Environment

TL;DR

This paper evaluates the Short-Commit protocol, a non-blocking alternative to 2PC, demonstrating its efficiency in extreme database environments through experimental analysis.

Contribution

It introduces and analyzes the Short-Commit protocol, highlighting its low cost and non-blocking features as improvements over traditional commit protocols.

Findings

Short-Commit reduces transaction commitment costs.

It operates efficiently in extreme database environments.

Experimental results support its non-blocking capability.

Abstract

Atomic commit protocols are used where data integrity is more important than data availability. Two-Phase commit (2PC) is a standard commit protocol for commercial database management systems. To reduce certain drawbacks in 2PC protocol people have suggested different variance of this protocol. Short-Commit protocol is developed with an objective to achieve low cost transaction commitment cost with non-blocking capability. In this paper we have briefly explained short-commit protocol executing pattern. Experimental analysis and results are presented to support the claim that short-commit can work efficiently in extreme database environment.
