Как решить проблему non-repeatable read и дедупликации на стороне консьюмера?

Answer from AI
The non-repeatable read problem occurs when data is read multiple times within a single transaction, and the data changes between reads. To solve this at the database level, stricter isolation levels such as Repeatable Read or Serializable are used. But if it concerns a consumer that reads messages from a queue or stream, then idempotency and deduplication must be ensured.
For deduplication on the consumer side, you can:
- Use unique message identifiers (e.g., UUID or offset).
- Store already processed IDs in a fast storage (e.g., Redis or a local cache).
- Before processing, check whether this ID has already been processed.
Example in Java using a Set to store processed IDs:
Set<String> processedIds = ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet();
public void consume(Message msg) {
if (processedIds.contains(msg.getId())) {
// Message has already been processed, skip
return;
}
// Process the message
process(msg);
processedIds.add(msg.getId());
}
For fault tolerance, the state of processedIds can be periodically saved or an external storage can be used.
Thus, by combining database-level transactions and idempotent processing on the consumer side, non-repeatable reads and duplication can be avoided.
