How to handle concurrency in distributed systems?

Locking-based concurrency control systems can use either one-phase or two-phase locking protocols.

1. One-phase Locking Protocol.
2. Two-phase Locking Protocol.
3. Distributed Two-phase Locking Algorithm.
4. Distributed Timestamp Concurrency Control.
5. Conflict Graphs.
6. Distributed Optimistic Concurrency Control Algorithm.

How do you handle distributed system?

There are two general ways that distributed systems function:

1. Each machine works toward a common goal and the end-user views results as one cohesive unit.
2. Each machine has its own end-user and the distributed system facilitates sharing resources or communication services.

Is it possible to maintain consistency in a distributed system?

DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS “Principles and Paradigms” Chapter7 CONSISTENCY AND REPLICATION / Andrew S.Tanenbaum, Maarten Van Steen As mentioned in Section 1, it is nearly impossible to maintain complete consistency.

Why is concurrency a problem in distributed systems?

The difficulty arises from two properties in particular: Limited knowledge: each node knows its own state, and it knows what state the other nodes were in recently, but it can’t know their current state. (Partial) failures: individual nodes can fail at any time, and the network can delay or drop messages arbitrarily.

Why are data duplicated in a distributed system?

Introduction (Overview of Consistency and Reasons for Consistency) In the distributed system, data is duplicated mainly for “reliability” and “performance”. Replication is required, especially if the distributed system needs to grow in quantity and geographically. Replication is such one of the scaling techniques.

Do you need to reason case by case in a distributed system?

The number of event orderings you need to consider in a distributed system is truly huge; it scales combinatorially with the number of nodes you’re communicating with. For the rest of this post, let’s see if we can avoid the need to reason on a case-by-case basis altogether. Consider a system consisting of only one node.
