Hi guys,
Recently I am reading the TCC implementation. Current implementation is: In the try phase, embedded Omega agent will send a try participate request to alpha server ‘after’ done the try operation. And then in the final phase Alpha will use the participate information to do confirm or cancel operation. There is a race condition here: If the omega crashed ‘before’ sending participate request, and left garbage in the system, Alpha server will do nothing about this Omega agent because Alpha server haven’t any information about this participate Omega. To avoid this condition, I suggest that Omega agent send participate request ‘before’ do the business operation. Alpha will get enough information to cancel this operation even when the Omega crashed. What do you guys think about it?
