9.2. About Pessimistic Locking

Pessimistic locking is also known as eager locking.

Pessimistic locking prevents more than one transaction being written to a key by enforcing cluster-wide locks on each write operation. Locks are only released once the transaction is completed either through committing or being rolled back.

Pessimistic mode is used where a high contention on keys is occurring, resulting in inefficiencies and unexpected roll back operations.
