Abstract

A system and method for transaction management. The system includes a processing circuitry; and a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to: assign a transaction identifier (ID) to a transaction, wherein the transaction includes at least one modification to at least one object stored in a storage system, each object having a persistent state, wherein the transaction ID indicates a state of the transaction, wherein the state of the transaction initially indicates that the transaction is in progress; modify the at least one object, wherein the modifying further comprises adding at least one conditional entry to each object, wherein each conditional entry includes one of the at least one modification that is conditional on the state of the transaction; and update the transaction ID when a termination event occurs, wherein the updating further includes changing the state of the transaction.

A system for transaction management, comprising:

a processing circuitry;
and
a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
assign a transaction identifier (ID) to a transaction, wherein the transaction includes at least one modification to at least one object stored in a storage system;
update a state of the transaction to indicate that the transaction is in progress;
add at least one conditional entry to each object of the at least one object that is expected to be affected by the transaction, wherein each conditional entry identifies at least one modification that is expected to be applied on the object by the transaction;
in response to a subsequent read request addressed to a certain object of the at least one object, identify that a first conditional entry exists for the certain object, wherein the first conditional entry is associated with the transaction, and determine a current state of the transaction;
respond to the subsequent read request based on the first conditional entry, and the current state of the transaction;
and
update the state of the transaction when a termination event occurs.
