Description

This feature is part of the concurrency control strategy for Fabric DW. File-level write-write conflict detection is a mechanism designed to prevent two concurrent transactions from modifying the same physical file in a data warehouse at the same time. More precise than table-level detection (which blocks any concurrent changes to the same table).What It Does?Scope: Operates at the file level (e.g., Parquet files in Fabric DW), rather than at the table or row level.Goal: Detect overlapping changes (updates, deletes) to the same file during concurrent transactions.Trigger: When a transaction tries to commit changes, the system checks if any newer manifests indicate modifications to the same file since the transaction started.Lays groundwork for even finer-grained detection (row-level) in later releases.
