    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement, in a database system, database engine nodes that implement multi-page writes as an atomic operation. In embodiments, the database system may include multiple database engine nodes that optimistically perform page writes locally without checking for potential conflicts at a shared storage system. The storage system will detect and report conflicting writes on a single page. To ensure that a group of writes to multiple pages occur atomically, the database engine node maintains a transaction context for the group, so that if a page conflict is later detected for any write in the group, the entire group will be rolled back at the database engine node and the storage system. In embodiments, the transaction context will track subsequent writes generated by the node to any page written by the group, so that these subsequent writes are also rolled back with the group.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement, in a database system, a database engine node that generates write tracking transactions to atomically enforce cross-page constraints for write operations. In embodiments, the database system may include multiple database engine nodes that optimistically perform page writes without checking for potential conflicts at a shared storage system. The storage system is configured to detect and report conflicting writes on the same page. To cause the storage system to report cross-page conflicts for a write, the database engine node creates a transaction that includes the write and a write tracker (WT) operation for a tracked page. The WT operation will cause the storage system to report any conflicting writes to the tracked page before the actual write is accepted by the storage system. If a reported conflict is not favorably resolved, the database engine node will abort the entire transaction, including the actual write.
