Abstract

A transactionally consistent indexer is a tiered middleware framework component that updates a transactional index for a data blob according to a data transaction requested by an application. The transactionally consistent indexer determines index entries to be added or removed from a transaction index based on the application request. The transactionally consistent indexer further inserts each index entry to be added into the transaction index. With respect to each index entry to be removed, the transactionally consistent indexer uses a time stamp or version number of the index entry for ensuring optimistic concurrency during deletion. The transactionally consistent indexer then updates a data blob that is associated with each index entry to be added or each index entry to be removed based on the application request.
