Abstract

According to embodiments of the present invention, one or more computer processors determine that a predetermined workload threshold associated with an invalidated object is not exceeded and transmits an invalidation command associated with the invalidated object to the owner of the invalidated object. The one or more computer processors instruct the modifier of the invalidated object to retain possession of a first lock on the object beyond the transaction. The one or more computer processors determine that a usage pattern associated with the invalidated object matches a predetermined usage pattern for selecting a lock that can be retained beyond an associated transaction and transmits a second lock a requestor. The one or more computer processors instruct the modifier to release possession of the first lock to the owner and transmit a first image of the current version of the invalidated object to the owner for subsequent transmission to the requestor.
