When a program tries to access a resource that should not be accessed concurrently, a lock is the easiest mechanism for preventing shared access. Most operating systems provide local primitives for using locks, allowing different programs to request access to a resource without risking stepping on each other’s toes. Unfortunately, once the application is distributed across several nodes (regardless what ...
