Description: Transaction retry is the process of attempting to execute a transaction again after a failure. This concept is fundamental in database systems and distributed applications, where data consistency and integrity are crucial. When a transaction does not complete successfully due to temporary errors, such as network issues or database locks, retrying allows the system to attempt the operation again. This mechanism not only enhances system resilience but also helps minimize data loss and ensures that critical operations are completed. In the context of various database systems and distributed architectures, transaction retry can be implemented in various ways, including the use of design patterns like ‘Circuit Breaker’ or implementing retry logic in application code. The ability to effectively handle failures is essential for maintaining user experience and operational efficiency in environments where transactions are frequent and critical.
