Description: Batch transactions refer to the ability to group multiple operations into a single transaction in distributed database systems. This feature allows developers to perform several inserts, updates, or deletions of data efficiently and atomically. Instead of executing each operation individually, which could result in longer processing times and inefficient resource usage, batch transactions allow these operations to be sent and processed together. This not only improves performance but also ensures that all operations either complete successfully or none do, which is crucial in applications where data integrity is paramount. However, it is important to note that while batch transactions offer significant advantages, they are not transactions in the traditional sense, as many distributed database systems prioritize availability and data partitioning over strict consistency. Therefore, batch transactions should be used carefully and in contexts where their use is truly beneficial, avoiding excessive use that could lead to performance issues.
