  • Patent number: 9582520
    Abstract: A transaction model for data stores using a distributed file system is disclosed. In various embodiments, a transaction-related metadata is sent to each of a plurality of segments to which a corresponding assigned portion of a query plan is assigned. A metadata modification record is received from zero or more of the segments, reflecting changes, if any, to system metadata required to be made to reflect changes to data made by that segment in processing the portion of the query plan assigned to that segment. It is determined whether a metadata modification record has been received from each of the segments in the plurality of segments. In the event a metadata modification record is determined to have been received from each of the segments in the plurality of segments, a system metadata store is updated to reflect the respective metadata modification records received from the plurality of segments.
