How can transaction processing be implemented in Couchbase?

Couchbase is a NoSQL database that traditionally does not support ACID transactions. However, the latest version of Couchbase has introduced the functionality of transaction processing, achieved by using CAS (Compare-And-Swap) operations and optimistic concurrency control.

The steps to implement transaction processing in Couchbase are as follows:

1. Implementing CAS operations ensures data consistency. CAS operation is an optimistic concurrency control method, allowing you to check if the current value of a document matches the expected value when updating it. If there is a match, the update will be successful; if not, the update will fail.
2. Update multiple documents using CAS operation. In Couchbase, you can use CAS operation to update multiple documents simultaneously, ensuring that the update operations for all documents either all succeed or all fail.
3. You can achieve simple transaction processing using CAS operations. While Couchbase does not support traditional ACID transactions, you can ensure all update operations succeed by using CAS operations when updating multiple documents within a transaction.

It is important to note that the transaction processing feature of Couchbase may affect performance and cannot completely replace traditional ACID transactions. Therefore, when using transaction processing, it is necessary to balance performance and consistency needs based on the specific situation.
