Abstract

A request is received with a first operation identifier to lock a first resource. The first resource is locked with the first operation identifier. It is determined whether a second resource should be locked with the first operation identifier or with a second operation identifier based on whether an operation to be performed for the request may complete after the request is processed. Additional embodiments are described and claimed.
