Abstract

Claims (72)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a request to execute a particular distributed transaction that requires changing a particular world state record in a world state of a particular blockchain channel to a particular value, wherein said particular distributed transaction is a heterogeneous distributed transaction that requires changing particular data in a computer system that commits particular changes to said particular data using a two-phase protocol, wherein said heterogenous distributed transaction comprises one or more transactions executed on a blockchain system and one or more transactions executed on a non-blockchain data processing system;

executing a particular staged transaction of said particular distributed transaction, where the particular staged transaction transitions through a prepare phase and a commit phase for changing said particular world state record to said particular value;

within said prepare phase of said particular staged transaction of said particular distributed transaction, committing a first blockchain transaction, wherein committing said first blockchain transaction includes committing:

a particular staged record that is set to said particular value;

a particular transaction metadata record denoting that said particular staged transaction is prepared;

wherein said particular staged record and said particular transaction metadata record are world state records in said world state;

receiving a prepared notification from said computer system indicating that said computer system is prepared to commit said particular change to said particular data;

after receiving said prepared notification from said computer system, sending a request to commit said particular changes;

within said commit phase of said particular staged transaction that commences after said prepare phase, committing a second blockchain transaction, wherein committing said second blockchain transaction includes committing:

said particular world state record to said particular value; and

said particular transaction metadata record to a value that denotes that said particular staged transaction is committed.

2. The method of claim 1 , further including:

said particular distributed transaction requires changing another world state record in another blockchain channel to another value;

within a prepare phase of another staged transaction of said particular distributed transaction, committing a third blockchain transaction, wherein committing said third blockchain transaction includes committing:

another staged record set to said another value;

another transaction metadata record denoting that said another staged transaction is prepared;

within a commit phase of said another staged transaction, committing a fourth blockchain transaction, wherein committing said fourth blockchain transaction includes committing:

said another world state record to said another value; and

said another transaction metadata record to a value that denotes that said particular staged transaction is committed.

3. The method of claim 1 , further including:

a blockchain client of said particular blockchain channel proposing said first blockchain transaction to at least one peer of said particular blockchain channel; and

said blockchain client receiving a prepared notification from said at least one peer of said particular blockchain channel.

4. The method of claim 1 , further including:

a blockchain client of said particular blockchain channel proposing said second blockchain transaction to at least one peer of said particular blockchain channel; and

said blockchain client receiving a commit notification from said at least one peer of said particular blockchain channel.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said computer system is a database management system.

6. The method of claim 1 , further including:

receiving a request to execute another distributed transaction that requires changing another world state record in said particular blockchain channel to another value;

within a prepare phase of another staged transaction of said another distributed transaction, committing a third blockchain transaction, wherein committing said third blockchain transaction includes committing:

another staged record set to said particular value;

another transaction metadata record denoting that said another staged transaction is prepared;

within a rollback phase of said another staged transaction, committing a fourth blockchain transaction, wherein committing said second blockchain transaction includes committing said another transaction metadata record to a value that denotes that said particular staged transaction is rolled back.

7. The method of claim 1 , further including locking said particular world state record during said prepare phase.

8. The method of claim 1 , further including locking said particular world state record during said commit phase.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said blockchain system comprises said particular blockchain channel, wherein said blockchain system is configured to modify a blockchain and a respective world state using an endorsement phase, an ordering phase, and a validate phase.

10. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media storing one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause:

receiving a request to execute a particular distributed transaction that requires changing a particular world state record in a world state of a particular blockchain channel to a particular value, wherein said particular distributed transaction is a heterogeneous distributed transaction that requires changing particular data in a computer system that commits particular changes to said particular data using a two-phase protocol, wherein said heterogenous distributed transaction comprises one or more transactions executed on a blockchain system and one or more transactions executed on a non-blockchain data processing system;

executing a particular staged transaction of said particular distributed transaction, where the particular staged transaction transitions through a prepare phase and a commit phase for changing said particular world state record to said particular value;

within said prepare phase of said particular staged transaction of said particular distributed transaction, committing a first blockchain transaction, wherein committing said first blockchain transaction includes committing:

a particular staged record that is set to said particular value;

a particular transaction metadata record denoting that said particular staged transaction is prepared;

wherein said particular staged record and said particular transaction metadata record are world state records in said world state;

receiving a prepared notification from said computer system indicating that said computer system is prepared to commit said particular change to said particular data;

after receiving said prepared notification from said computer system, sending a request to commit said particular changes;

within said commit phase of said particular staged transaction that commences after said prepare phase, committing a second blockchain transaction, wherein committing said second blockchain transaction includes committing:

said particular world state record to said particular value; and

said particular transaction metadata record to a value that denotes that said particular staged transaction is committed.

11. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 10 , wherein the one or more sequences of instructions include instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause:

said particular distributed transaction requires changing another world state record in another blockchain channel to another value;

within a prepare phase of another staged transaction of said particular distributed transaction, committing a third blockchain transaction, wherein committing said third blockchain transaction includes committing:

another staged record set to said another value;

another transaction metadata record denoting that said another staged transaction is prepared;

within a commit phase of said another staged transaction, committing a fourth blockchain transaction, wherein committing said fourth blockchain transaction includes committing:

said another world state record to said another value; and

said another transaction metadata record to a value that denotes that said particular staged transaction is committed.

12. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 10 , wherein the one or more sequences of instructions include instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause:

a blockchain client of said particular blockchain channel proposing said first blockchain transaction to at least one peer of said particular blockchain channel; and

said blockchain client receiving a prepared notification from said at least one peer of said particular blockchain channel.

13. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 10 , wherein the one or more sequences of instructions include instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause:

a blockchain client of said particular blockchain channel proposing said second blockchain transaction to at least one peer of said particular blockchain channel; and

said blockchain client receiving a commit notification from said at least one peer of said particular blockchain channel.

14. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 10 , wherein said computer system is a database management system.
