Abstract
The subject technology determines that a request to commit a transaction has been received. The subject technology prior to committing the transaction, performs a write operation to store a metadata version of a table associated with the transaction in a metastore. The subject technology performs a register operation to register a background worker. The subject technology performs, by the background worker, a trigger operation to perform an execution node job on an execution node. The subject technology retrieves, by the execution node job, a set of identifiers of active transactions. The subject technology performs, by the execution node job, a write operation to store the metadata version of the table and the set of identifiers in a datastore. The subject technology receives, by the background worker, an indication that the execution node job has successfully completed. The subject technology performs an unlock operation to unlock the table.
