Description
Description:
The Lock Manager design pattern is a concurrency control mechanism used to manage access to shared resources in a multi-threaded environment. This pattern ensures that multiple processes or threads do not simultaneously access a shared resource in a way that causes conflicts. The key elements of the Lock Manager design pattern include:
- Lock Management: Centralized control for acquiring and releasing locks on resources.
- Lock Types: Different types of locks, such as read and write locks, to manage varying levels of access control.
- Deadlock Detection and Resolution: Mechanisms to detect and handle deadlocks.
- Lock Granularity: Ability to define locks at different levels of granularity, such as fine-grained or coarse-grained locks.
References:
Acceptance Criteria:
- Implement a Lock Manager class that supports acquiring and releasing locks with read and write permissions.
- Integrate deadlock detection and resolution within the Lock Manager.
- Provide unit tests demonstrating the correct functionality of the Lock Manager, including scenarios for deadlock detection and handling.
