Continuous database locking during database reconfiguration

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause a set of acts comprising:

• initiating execution of a first lock state remastering process for a plurality of resources by a plurality of computing nodes of a multi-node database management system (DBMS);
• receiving a request to access a particular resource while executing the first lock state remastering process;
• determining that the particular resource is pending lock state remastering;
• and
• executing, in response to determining that the particular resource is pending lock state remastering, a second lock state remastering process to perform lock state remastering for the particular resource while the first lock state remastering process is executing.

A computing system comprising:

• a memory to hold a set of instructions;
• a computer processor to execute the set of instructions, which when executed, cause a set of acts comprising:
• initiating execution of a first lock state remastering process for a plurality of resources by a plurality of computing nodes of a multi-node database management system (DBMS);
• receiving a request to access a particular resource while executing the first lock state remastering process;
• determining that the particular resource is pending lock state remastering;
• and
• executing, in response to determining that the particular resource is pending lock state remastering, a second lock state remastering process to perform lock state remastering for the particular resource while the first lock state remastering process is executing.
