Databases and Distributed Deadlocks: An FAQ
Since Citus is a distributed database, we often hear questions about distributed transactions. Specifically, people ask us about transactions that modify data living on different machines. So we started to work on distributed transactions. We then identified distributed deadlock detection as the building block to enable distributed transactions in Citus.
As we began working on distributed deadlock detection, we realized that we needed to clarify certain concepts. So we created a simple FAQ for the Citus development team. And we found ourselves referring back to the FAQ over and over again. So we decided to share it here on our blog, in the hopes you find it useful.
