Three-Phase Commit

Description

Three-Phase Commit (3PC) is an atomic commitment protocol for distributed systems. It is an extension of the two-phase commit protocol that avoids the blocking problem of 2PC by adding a pre-commit phase and using time-outs.

Where to use

• Distributed systems requiring higher availability than 2PC.
\n
• Databases prone to coordinator failure.

Real World Example

A distributed database system where the coordinator might crash. 3PC ensures participants don't get stuck indefinitely holding locks.
