Handling transactions in unknown state

[georgyshamteev]

Hi. Sometimes (very rarely, but it happens) out txns can finish with errors telling us that we don't know the state of a txn anymore. This is when we can't say for sure whether it was aborted or committed. Is there a way to tell Elle that such txn is in unknown state or maybe concurrent for whole history of operations?

Does status :info (not :fail or :ok) do the job?

Thank you in advance

Yes! You'll want to use :type :info instead of :type :ok. All of Elle is designed to work with indefinite transactions. See https://github.com/jepsen-io/history for details. :-)--KyleOn Jun 9, 2025 09:32, georgyshamteev ***@***.***> wrote:georgyshamteev created an issue (jepsen-io/jepsen#621) Hi.
