1PC and 2PC (Phase Commit Protocols)

• Presented By Kaushal Mittal

Introduction

• Problem Definition
• To Study, design and implement 1PC and 2PC,
  commit protocols
• Motivation
• Distributed system, One transaction at multiple
  sites.
• Coordination among sites required to ensure
  global atomicity.
• All Commit or All Abort.

3
Distributed Transaction

• Transaction at multiple sites.
• One site coordinator.
• Starts and controls transaction execution.
• Ensures global atomicity.
• When transaction reaches completion
• ACKS received from all participating sites.
• Coordinator invokes Commit protocol

4
Two Phase Commit

• Two Phases
• Voting Phase
• Commit Phase
• Advantages
• Handles deferred constraints.
• Disadvantage
• More logging
• More communication overhead.

5
One PC and One-Two PC

• 1 PC
• Overlap the Voting Phase with ACKS
• Only decision phase
• Deferred Consistency Constraints not considered
• 1-2 PC
• 1PC by-default.
• Switch to 2PC when Deferred Consistency flagON

6
Implementation Details

• Data Structures
• ParticipantList List of participants for a
  transaction
• hostname, port, username, password of the
  database at the participating site.
• LogRecord -It is a C structure
• timestamp, transaction Id, log message, the IP
  address.
• TransactionStates - states of the transaction
• START, PRECOMMIT, READY TO COMMIT, COMMIT, ABORT,
  END.

Features

• Multithreaded
• RPC used for communication
• Support for multiple transactions
• Log manager partial implementation.
• Provides interface to transaction manager.
• ReleaseResources(id)
• StartTransaction(id)
• Can support 1-2PC, Presumed abort and Presumed
  Commit
• A flag - PROTOCOL_TYPE Provided.
