Is Linq to Sql DeleteOnSubmit threadsafe? - multithreading

Assuming the decision to delete is independent and threadsafe, is it threadsafe to call DeleteOnSubmit in parallel?
All entities will be added to the delete in parallel, then the change will be submitted afterwards.
My testing hasn't shown a problem, but that doesn't inherently mean it's safe....

No.
LINQ to SQL itself is not thread-safe; nor are any of its methods.

Multiple insert in single transaction using multithreading

I am using springboot Jpa and marked a method as transactional.
In the transactional method, multiple inserts are there which are independent of each other.
I am trying to improve the performance by using multiple threads inside the transactional method but Transactional behavior is lost when I did this.
Can you please suggest a way to achieve this behavior.
#Transactional
methodA(){
repo1.save(A)
repo2.save(B)
repo3.save(C)
repo4.save(D)
}
I want to run these save operations in different threads but in one single transaction.

How to do multiple operations in single stored procedure in Cosmos DB

Is it possible to do multiple operations in a single stored procedure in cosmos Db with bounded execution?
I have to perform below operations in a single stored procedure
A new record to be inserted
Few records to be deleted
Update Operation to be performed
How can data consistency be maintained with transaction support in this case?
Cosmos DB stored procedures work transactionally, within a single partition of a single collection. So, as long as your inserts, deletes, and updates (replacements, to be more accurate) are all within a single partition, they would all be handled transactionally within a single stored procedure call.
Hey Ramakrishna Reddy,
As David mentioned, transactions can only be achieved within a partition in a collection. see documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/database-transactions-optimistic-concurrency. I have the experience of a time when multiple collections were merged into one collection for the ability to achieve transactions. You might need to do the same thing as well.
There are examples to achieve transactions here: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/master/articles/cosmos-db/how-to-write-stored-procedures-triggers-udfs.md of how to create stored procedures.
In your particular situation, you will probably need to write a transaction that takes an array of items to upsert, and an array of items to delete. You can find an example of a deletion transaction here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-cosmos-dotnet-v2/blob/master/samples/clientside-transactions/DocDBClientBulk/DocDBClientBulk/bulkDelete.js
Alternatively, you can use Transactional batch in .NET SDK that Cosmos now supports. In addition to transactions support, you can see other upcoming long-awaited updates in this blog: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cosmosdb/whats-new-in-azure-cosmos-db-nov-2019/. However, I am unclear whether it supports the deletion that you are seeking. I haven't gotten a chance to play with it. Maybe you can share when you figure it out!

How can i use parallel transactions in neo4j?

I am currently working on an application using Neo4j as an embedded database.
And I wondering how it would be possible to make sure that separate threads use separate transactions. Normally, I would assign database operations to a transaction, but the code examples I found, don't allow for making sure that write operations use separate transactions:
try (Transaction tx = graphDb.beginTx()) {
Node node = graphDb.createNode();
tx.success();
}
As graphDB shall be used as a thread-safe singleton, I really don't see, how that shall work... (E.g. for several users creating a shopping list in separate transactions.)
I would be grateful for pointing out where I misunderstand the concept of transactions in Neo4j.
Best regards and many thanks in advance,
Oliver
The code you posted will run in separate transactions if executed by multiple threads, one transaction per thread.
The way this is achieved (and it's quite a common pattern) is storing transaction state against ThreadLocal (read the Javadoc and things will become clear).
Neo4j Transaction Management
In order to fully maintain data integrity and ensure good transactional behavior, Neo4j supports the ACID properties:
atomicity: If any part of a transaction fails, the database state is left unchanged.
consistency: Any transaction will leave the database in a consistent state.
isolation: During a transaction, modified data cannot be accessed by other operations.
durability: The DBMS can always recover the results of a committed transaction.
Specifically:
-All database operations that access the graph, indexes, or the schema must be performed in a transaction.

Does Accumulo support aggregation?

I am new to Accumulo. I know that I can write Java code to scan, insert, update and delete data using Hadoop and MapReduce. What I would like to know is whether aggregation is possible in Accumulo.
I know that in MySql we can use groupby,orderby,max,min,count,sum,joins, nested queries, etc. Is their is any possibility to use these functions in Accumulo either directly or indirectly.
Accumulo does support aggregation through the use of combiner iterators (Accumulo Combiner Example ).
Iterators mostly run server-side, but can be run client-side, and can perform quite a bit of computation before sending the data back to your client.
Accumulo comes packaged with many iterators, more specifically the summingCombiner is used to sum the values of entries. Dave Medinet's has a blog that has some good examples (Accumulo Blog). More specifically, using the summingCombiner to implement wordcount (Word Count in Accumulo). I also suggest signing up for the Accumulo users mailing lists (mailing lists).
I like to think Accumulo has great agg functionality. I run an OLAP solution on it with hundreds of millions of keys on 40 nodes. In addition to the basic SummingCombiner, I recommend the newer statscombiner as well
http://accumulo.apache.org/1.4/apidocs/org/apache/accumulo/examples/simple/combiner/StatsCombiner.html
which gives you basic stats about a set of keys.
You can set combiners at maj compaction, minor compaction or scan time. If you have a ton of data with a lot of trickled keys, I don't recommend scan time combining, because it can slow down the scan time (not always).
HTH
Some aggregation is supported in Accumulo, over multiple entries, and even multiple rows, within each tablet. Aggregation across tablets would need to be done on the client side or in a MapReduce job.
Yes, Aggregations are possible in Accumulo. you can achieve them by -
1) Using in built Combiners which aggregate data when you ingest.
2) Make Customised Aggregation Iterator and then deploy it at minor or majour compactions.

Multi-threading access to SubmitChanges() (LINQ to SQL)

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2.
In Parallel.For loop I execute the same method with different parameter values. After execution processed data must be stored in the database.
But I've got an exception hat says that I could not work with the same data context from different threads.
So the question will be how to work with data context and SubmitChanges() from multiple threads?
I would recommend creating a threadsafe structure for storing your results. Once your parallel for has completed you can read these out of the structure and push them into your linq dataset.
