Techniques of transaction support for a database are disclosed herein. One example technique includes generating a new version value for key-value pairs in the database and creating, in the database, a new key-value pair corresponding to a parameter to be updated with a new value using both the generated new version value and a name of the parameter as a key and the new value as the corresponding value for the created new key-value pair. The example technique can then include determining whether creating the new key-value pair is completed successfully in the database, and in response to determining that creating the new key-value pair corresponding to the parameter is not completed successfully, the existing value of the parameter is returned as a current value of the parameter instead of the new value in response to a query for the current value of the parameter.

Transactional support for non-relational database

Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of providing distributed index searching are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a database server, search terms included in a search query for content from a member and in response to receiving the search terms, determining a subset of the distributed indices to be searched in response to the search query based on the received search terms and one or more records of searching features on the database server. The method also includes providing the determined list of distributed indices to be searched based on the search terms in the search query.
