| .acid2__wrap.flexi.pt-5 |
| .acid2__main |
| p In distributed systems, a transaction usually spans multiple cluster nodes. |
| p To handle possible distributed failures properly and avoid data inconsistencies cluster-wide, a two-phase commit protocol (2PC) is used. |
| h3.acid2__subtitle.h5.pb-2 How ACID transactions work |
| p Whenever the records get updated within a transaction, Ignite keeps the transactional state in a local transaction map until the changes are committed. |
| p From here, the data is transferred to the participating remote nodes. Only the nodes that hold primary or backup copies of the data participate in the transaction. |
| p If a transaction is mapped to a single node, then Ignite optimizes the transaction execution by switching to the one-phase-commit (1PC) protocol. |

| .acid3__small.pt-4 |
| p When native persistence mode is enabled and Apache Ignite is used as a database that scales beyond available memory capacity, the distributed transactions update data across memory and disk in a consistent way. |
| p All the changes stay durable, because they are written to the write-ahead log (WAL) files. It guarantees data consistency even if the cluster or individual nodes go down in the middle of a transaction. |

| img(src="/img/features/acid/icon-cross.svg", alt="") |
| p The purpose of the WAL is to propagate updates to the disk in the append-only mode, which is the fastest way to persist data to disk. |
| p.pt-1 The WAL provides a recovery mechanism for failure scenarios when a single node or the whole cluster goes down. A cluster can always be recovered to the latest successfully committed transaction. |
| .acid3__col |
| h3.h5.pb-2 Transactions with external databases |
| p.fz20.acid3__collead Your transactions will be updated both in the external database and in Apache Ignite |
| .acid3__small.pt-4 |
| p When Apache Ignite is used as a caching layer for an external database, such as RDBMS, transactions span the cached data in Ignite as well as the data persisted in a database supporting transactional APIs. |
| p For instance, if a relational database is configured as a disk tier, Ignite writes the transactional changes to the database before sending a commit message to participating cluster nodes. |
| p This way, if a transaction fails at the database level, Ignite can still send the rollback message to the cluster nodes, keeping the data consistent across memory and disk tiers. |
