Analysis and Verification of Two-Phase Commit & Three-Phase Commit Protocols

چکیده

This paper introduces a formal model of the distributed commit protocols in the process algebra mCRL2 and also their general requirements in the modal μ-calculus. We show how to make straightforward models of protocols and by doing so, how it becomes easy to identify problems. We apply this to the well-known Two-Phase Commit Protocol (2PC) and prove it problematic for single site failure. We also apply our method to its “amended” variant, the Three-Phase Commit Protocol (3PC) and prove it to be erroneous for simultaneous site failures. We present 2PC and 3PC in different communication settings and verify them with respect to their requirements.

Verifying Real-time Commit Protocols Using Dense-time Model Checking Technology

The timed-based automata model, introduced by Alur and Dill, provides a useful formalism for describing real-time systems. Over the last two decades, several dense-time model checking tools have been developed based on that model. The paper considers the verification of real-time distributed commit protocols using dense-time model checking technology. More precisely, we model and verify the wel...

Commit Protocols in Distributed Database System: A Comparison

Distributed database systems use commit protocols to ensure atomicity in case of distributed transactions and a wide variety of commit protocols have been proposed so far. Two–phase commit (2PC) is a widely accepted standard protocol for distributed transactions. But 2PC suffer from blocking problem due to which three-phase commit (3PC) protocol was proposed which is an extension of 2PC. This p...

Mechanical Verification of Transaction Processing Systems

This paper concerns the formal specification and mechanical verification of transaction processing systems aimed at distributed databases. In such systems, a standard set of ACID properties must be ensured by a combination of concurrency control and recovery protocols. In the existing literature, these protocols are often studied in isolation, making strong assumptions about each other. The pro...

Performance Analysis of Distributed Database Recovery Protocols

An early recovery protocol that was investigated at length and is currently implemented in most commercial Distributed Database Management System products is the two-phase commit protocol. However, there is one main drawback in using this, namely blocking, that is, operational sites having to wait for the recovery of a failed site in order to complete a transaction. The two-phase commit protoco...
