FoundationDB .NET — Transactions & the Retry Loop
FoundationDB gives you serializable, ACID transactions over the whole keyspace. The catch: a transaction may conflict and need to be retried, and it has hard limits (time and size). The .NET client handles retries for you via a retry loop — but only if you use it correctly. The single biggest source of bugs is writing a transaction handler that is not safe to run more than once.
If you are encoding keys/values inside the transaction, read the foundationdb-keys-and-layers skill too.
1. Always use the retry loop
Don't manually BeginTransaction / CommitAsync in application code. Use the retryable methods on IFdbDatabase (or IFdbDatabaseProvider). Pick the narrowest one:
| Method | Transaction type | Use for |
|---|---|---|
db.ReadAsync(handler, ct) | IFdbReadOnlyTransaction | reads only; returns a result |
db.WriteAsync(handler, ct) | IFdbTransaction | mutations that return nothing (the handler may still read — its transaction is a full read/write one) |
db.ReadWriteAsync(handler, ct) | IFdbTransaction | mutations that must return a value out of the transaction |
The split between
WriteAsyncandReadWriteAsyncis about the return value, not about whether you read. Both hand you a fullIFdbTransaction.ReadWriteAsynchas no "returns nothing" overload — if your handler returns no value, useWriteAsync.
// READ
Book? book = await db.ReadAsync(async tr =>
{
var bytes = await tr.GetAsync(subspace.Key("D", id));
return bytes.IsNull ? null : CrystalJson.Deserialize<Book>(bytes);
}, ct);
// WRITE (no reads, nothing to return)
await db.WriteAsync(tr =>
{
tr.Set(subspace.Key("D", book.Id), FdbValue.ToJson(book));
}, ct);
// READ-MODIFY-WRITE (need a result and/or read before write)
long newBalance = await db.ReadWriteAsync(async tr =>
{
long current = (await tr.GetAsync(accountKey)).ToInt64();
long updated = current + amount;
tr.Set(accountKey, FdbValue.ToFixed64LittleEndian(updated));
return updated;
}, ct);
The retry loop commits for you (you never call CommitAsync inside the handler) and re-runs the handler on retryable errors until it succeeds, the CancellationToken fires, or a non-retryable error is thrown.
There is a state overload (db.ReadAsync(state, (tr, state) => …, ct)) that lets you pass captured data without allocating a closure — prefer it in hot paths.
2. THE rule: your handler must be idempotent
The handler lambda can and will run multiple times. Treat it as a pure function of the database state.
❌ Never mutate external/global state inside the handler. No incrementing in-memory counters, no adding to caches/lists, no logging "done", no sending messages, no static field writes. On a retry, those side effects happen again — but the earlier attempt's database writes were discarded.
✅ Do all such work after the loop returns successfully:
// WRONG — _cache is mutated even on attempts that never commit
await db.WriteAsync(tr => { tr.Set(k, v); _cache[id] = book; }, ct);
// RIGHT — only touch external state after the transaction has committed
await db.WriteAsync(tr => tr.Set(k, v), ct);
_cache[id] = book;
The handler may read whatever it needs from the transaction; it just must not affect anything outside it. (See also the success callback overloads, which run once after a successful commit.)
Native idempotency (fdb 7.2+) covers the commit-side hazard. A commit can fail with CommitUnknownResult: the client never learned whether it applied, so a blind retry of a read-modify-write could apply it twice. On a cluster at api level 720 or greater, tr.Options.WithAutomaticIdempotency() tags each commit so the cluster deduplicates it, and the retry loop returns the committed result instead of re-running the handler. It throws below api level 720; gate it on tr.Options.IsAutomaticIdempotencySupported if you also target older clusters. This does not replace the rule above: keep the handler side-effect-free, since native idempotency only makes the commit safe to retry.
3. Hard limits you must design around
| Limit | Value | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction lifetime | 5 seconds | Long reads/range scans fail with past_version (error 1007). Don't iterate huge ranges in one tx. |
| Value size | 100,000 bytes | Split large blobs across keys (see FdbBlob). |
| Key size | 10,000 bytes | Keep tuple keys reasonable. |
| Total writes per tx | 10,000,000 bytes | Batch large imports across many transactions. |
For bulk operations that exceed these, use the Fdb.Bulk.* helpers (import/export/batch) instead of one giant transaction, and the FdbKey.Batched(...) helpers to split index ranges into chunks.
A range scan that might be large should be paged across transactions (resume from the last key's Successor()), not run as one 5-second read.
4. Conflicts & how to avoid them
A read-write transaction conflicts if another transaction commits a write to a key this transaction read, between this transaction's read version and commit. The retry loop hides the retry, but conflicts cost latency. To reduce them:
-
Use atomic mutations instead of read-modify-write where possible — they don't create read conflicts:
tr.AtomicAdd64(counterKey, +1); // value stored as fixed little-endian 64-bit tr.AtomicIncrement64(counterKey); tr.AtomicDecrement64(counterKey, clearIfZero: true); tr.AtomicMax(key, v); tr.AtomicMin(key, v); tr.AtomicAnd/Or/Xor(key, mask);(Counters stored for atomic add must be fixed-width little-endian:
FdbValue.ToFixed64LittleEndian/Slice.FromFixed64.)⚠️
AtomicMin/AtomicMaxcompare LITTLE-ENDIAN, not lexicographically. They also zero-extend or truncate the stored value to the length of your parameter first. That is correct for a fixed-width little-endian counter and wrong for everything else: on a tuple-encoded value, a UTF-8 string, a big-endian number or aVersionStamp, they will happily store the "larger" of two values under a comparison that has nothing to do with your ordering, and silently corrupt the key.For a byte-string ordering (which is what tuple-encoded keys, UUIDs and version stamps use), you want the lexicographic pair:
tr.Atomic(key, value, FdbMutationType.ByteMax); // keep the lexicographically larger value tr.Atomic(key, value, FdbMutationType.ByteMin); // keep the lexicographically smaller oneThere is deliberately no
AtomicByteMax/AtomicByteMinhelper: go throughtr.Atomic(...)with the explicitFdbMutationType. UnlikeMin/Max, these do no padding or truncation, and an absent key simply stores your parameter. They need API level 520 or higher (fdb 5.2, the same wave asAppendIfFits); below that the client throwsNotSupportedExceptionrather than degrading.Rule of thumb: fixed-width little-endian number, use
AtomicMin/AtomicMax; anything you would compare withSlice.CompareTo, useByteMin/ByteMax. -
Snapshot reads (
tr.Snapshot.GetAsync(...),tr.Snapshot.GetRange(...)) read without creating a read-conflict on those keys. Use them when a stale read is acceptable (e.g. counting shards, statistics). Don't use snapshot reads for values you then use to compute a write that needs consistency. -
Sharding for write-hot keys: a single frequently-incremented key serializes all writers. Spread writes across random sub-keys and sum on read — exactly what
FdbHighContentionCounterdoes. -
You can add explicit conflict ranges with
tr.AddConflictRange(begin, end, FdbConflictRangeType.Read|Write)when you need conflict behavior that differs from what your reads/writes imply (advanced).
5. Watches — reacting to changes
tr.Watch(key, ct) returns an FdbWatch that completes when the key's value changes after the transaction commits. Use it for change notification without polling. Create the watch inside a transaction (the handler is async; there is no synchronous return overload):
FdbWatch watch = await db.ReadWriteAsync(
async tr => tr.Watch(signalKey, ct), // optionally read/set first, then return the watch
ct);
await watch; // resolves when signalKey's value changes after this tx commits
- ⚠️ Pass an application/outer
CancellationTokentoWatch— not the transaction's owntr.Cancellation. The watch outlives the transaction, so binding it to the transaction's token is rejected. - A watch only notifies that the key changed — it does not deliver the new value. When it fires you must re-read.
- Watches are limited in number per database and should be used for low-frequency signals, not high-throughput streaming.
- To bound the wait,
watch.WaitAsync(timeout, ct)returnstruewhen the key changed andfalseon timeout. An overload takes aTimeProvider,watch.WaitAsync(timeout, clock, ct), so a test that injects a fake clock drives the timeout deterministically (7.4.4+). (7.4.5+) the two-argumentWaitAsync(timeout, ct)measures its timeout on the database clock,IFdbDatabase.Time(aTimeProvider, system clock by default), so watch timeouts on a database created with a fake TimeProvider run on virtual time, with no per-call clock argument.
The signal-key + watch pattern (producer/consumer)
This is how real layers (e.g. a pub/sub firehose) push work between nodes without polling:
- Producer, in the same transaction that writes the data, bumps a single "signal" key the consumer watches:
tr.AtomicIncrement32(subscriber.Key("WATCH")).AtomicIncrementguarantees the value changes (so the watch always fires) and never conflicts with other producers. - Consumer loops: read a batch; if empty, return a watch on the signal key,
awaitit outside the transaction, then loop and re-read.
while (!ct.IsCancellationRequested)
{
var (batch, watch) = await db.ReadWriteAsync(async tr =>
{
var sub = await location.Resolve(tr);
// snapshot read: scanning the queue shouldn't conflict with producers
var msgs = await tr.Snapshot.GetRangeAsync(sub.Key("INBOX").ToRange(), FdbRangeOptions.WantAll.WithLimit(100));
if (msgs.Count == 0)
return ((FdbRangeChunk?) null, (FdbWatch?) tr.Watch(sub.Key("WATCH"), ct)); // outer token!
tr.ClearRange(msgs.First, FdbKey.Successor(msgs.Last)); // consume exactly what we read
return (msgs, (FdbWatch?) null);
}, ct);
if (watch != null) { await watch; continue; } // notified -> loop, re-read
// dispatch batch...

# FoundationDB .NET — Transactions & the Retry Loop
FoundationDB gives you **serializable, ACID transactions** over the whole keyspace. The catch: a transaction may **conflict** and need to be retried, and it has hard limits (time and size). The .NET client handles retries for you via a **retry loop** — but only if you use it correctly. The single biggest source of bugs is writing a transaction handler that is **not safe to run more than once**.
If you are encoding keys/values inside the transaction, read the **`foundationdb-keys-and-layers`** skill too.
---
## 1. Always use the retry loop
Don't manually `BeginTransaction` / `CommitAsync` in application code. Use the retryable methods on `IFdbDatabase` (or `IFdbDatabaseProvider`). Pick the narrowest one:
| Method | Transaction type | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| `db.ReadAsync(handler, ct)` | `IFdbReadOnlyTransaction` | reads only; returns a result |
| `db.WriteAsync(handler, ct)` | `IFdbTransaction` | mutations that return **nothing** (the handler may still read — its transaction is a full read/write one) |
| `db.ReadWriteAsync(handler, ct)` | `IFdbTransaction` | mutations that must **return a value** out of the transaction |
> The split between `WriteAsync` and `ReadWriteAsync` is about the **return value**, not about whether you read. Both hand you a full `IFdbTransaction`. `ReadWriteAsync` has no "returns nothing" overload — if your handler returns no value, use `WriteAsync`.
```csharp
// READ
Book? book = await db.ReadAsync(async tr =>
{
var bytes = await tr.GetAsync(subspace.Key("D", id));
return bytes.IsNull ? null : CrystalJson.Deserialize<Book>(bytes);
}, ct);
// WRITE (no reads, nothing to return)
await db.WriteAsync(tr =>
{
tr.Set(subspace.Key("D", book.Id), FdbValue.ToJson(book));
}, ct);
// READ-MODIFY-WRITE (need a result and/or read before write)
long newBalance = await db.ReadWriteAsync(async tr =>
{
long current = (await tr.GetAsync(accountKey)).ToInt64();
long updated = current + amount;
tr.Set(accountKey, FdbValue.ToFixed64LittleEndian(updated));
return updated;
}, ct);
```
The retry loop **commits for you** (you never call `CommitAsync` inside the handler) and re-runs the handler on retryable errors until it succeeds, the `CancellationToken` fires, or a non-retryable error is thrown.
There is a `state` overload (`db.ReadAsync(state, (tr, state) => …, ct)`) that lets you pass captured data without allocating a closure — prefer it in hot paths.

// RIGHT — only touch external state after the transaction has committed
await db.WriteAsync(tr => tr.Set(k, v), ct);
_cache[id] = book;
```
The handler may read whatever it needs from the transaction; it just must not affect anything outside it. (See also the `success` callback overloads, which run once after a successful commit.)
**Native idempotency (fdb 7.2+) covers the commit-side hazard.** A commit can fail with `CommitUnknownResult`: the client never learned whether it applied, so a blind retry of a read-modify-write could apply it twice. On a cluster at api level 720 or greater, `tr.Options.WithAutomaticIdempotency()` tags each commit so the cluster deduplicates it, and the retry loop returns the committed result instead of re-running the handler. It throws below api level 720; gate it on `tr.Options.IsAutomaticIdempotencySupported` if you also target older clusters. This does not replace the rule above: keep the handler side-effect-free, since native idempotency only makes the *commit* safe to retry.

## 3. Hard limits you must design around

| Transaction lifetime | **5 seconds** | Long reads/range scans fail with `past_version` (error 1007). Don't iterate huge ranges in one tx. |
| Value size | **100,000 bytes** | Split large blobs across keys (see `FdbBlob`). |
| Key size | **10,000 bytes** | Keep tuple keys reasonable. |

A range scan that might be large should be **paged** across transactions (resume from the last key's `Successor()`), not run as one 5-second read.
---
## 4. Conflicts & how to avoid them
A read-write transaction conflicts if another transaction commits a write to a key this transaction **read**, between this transaction's read version and commit. The retry loop hides the retry, but conflicts cost latency. To reduce them:
- **Use atomic mutations instead of read-modify-write** where possible — they don't create read conflicts:
```csharp
tr.AtomicAdd64(counterKey, +1); // value stored as fixed little-endian 64-bit
tr.AtomicIncrement64(counterKey);
tr.AtomicDecrement64(counterKey, clearIfZero: true);
tr.AtomicMax(key, v); tr.AtomicMin(key, v);
tr.AtomicAnd/Or/Xor(key, mask);
```
(Counters stored for atomic add **must** be fixed-width little-endian: `FdbValue.ToFixed64LittleEndian` / `Slice.FromFixed64`.)
⚠️ **`AtomicMin` / `AtomicMax` compare LITTLE-ENDIAN, not lexicographically.** They also zero-extend or truncate the stored value to the length of your parameter first. That is correct for a fixed-width little-endian counter and **wrong for everything else**: on a tuple-encoded value, a UTF-8 string, a big-endian number or a `VersionStamp`, they will happily store the "larger" of two values under a comparison that has nothing to do with your ordering, and silently corrupt the key.
For a byte-string ordering (which is what tuple-encoded keys, UUIDs and version stamps use), you want the lexicographic pair:
```csharp
tr.Atomic(key, value, FdbMutationType.ByteMax); // keep the lexicographically larger value
tr.Atomic(key, value, FdbMutationType.ByteMin); // keep the lexicographically smaller one
```
There is deliberately **no `AtomicByteMax` / `AtomicByteMin` helper**: go through `tr.Atomic(...)` with the explicit `FdbMutationType`. Unlike `Min`/`Max`, these do no padding or truncation, and an absent key simply stores your parameter. They need **API level 520 or higher** (fdb 5.2, the same wave as `AppendIfFits`); below that the client throws `NotSupportedException` rather than degrading.
Rule of thumb: fixed-width little-endian number, use `AtomicMin`/`AtomicMax`; anything you would compare with `Slice.CompareTo`, use `ByteMin`/`ByteMax`.
- **Snapshot reads** (`tr.Snapshot.GetAsync(...)`, `tr.Snapshot.GetRange(...)`) read without creating a read-conflict on those keys. Use them when a stale read is acceptable (e.g. counting shards, statistics). Don't use snapshot reads for values you then use to compute a write that needs consistency.
- **Sharding for write-hot keys**: a single frequently-incremented key serializes all writers. Spread writes across random sub-keys and sum on read — exactly what `FdbHighContentionCounter` does.
- You can add explicit conflict ranges with `tr.AddConflictRange(begin, end, FdbConflictRangeType.Read|Write)` when you need conflict behavior that differs from what your reads/writes imply (advanced).
---
## 5. Watches — reacting to changes
`tr.Watch(key, ct)` returns an `FdbWatch` that completes when the key's value changes after the transaction commits. Use it for change notification without polling. Create the watch inside a transaction (the handler is `async`; there is no synchronous return overload):
```csharp
FdbWatch watch = await db.ReadWriteAsync(
async tr => tr.Watch(signalKey, ct), // optionally read/set first, then return the watch
ct);
await watch; // resolves when signalKey's value changes after this tx commits
```
- ⚠️ Pass an **application/outer** `CancellationToken` to `Watch` — **not** the transaction's own `tr.Cancellation`. The watch outlives the transaction, so binding it to the transaction's token is rejected.
- A watch only **notifies** that the key changed — it does not deliver the new value. When it fires you must **re-read**.
- Watches are limited in number per database and should be used for low-frequency signals, not high-throughput streaming.
- To bound the wait, `watch.WaitAsync(timeout, ct)` returns `true` when the key changed and `false` on timeout. An overload takes a `TimeProvider`, `watch.WaitAsync(timeout, clock, ct)`, so a test that injects a fake clock drives the timeout deterministically *(7.4.4+)*. *(7.4.5+)* the two-argument `WaitAsync(timeout, ct)` measures its timeout on the database clock, `IFdbDatabase.Time` (a `TimeProvider`, system clock by default), so watch timeouts on a database created with a fake TimeProvider run on virtual time, with no per-call clock argument.
### The signal-key + watch pattern (producer/consumer)
This is how real layers (e.g. a pub/sub firehose) push work between nodes without polling:
- **Producer**, in the same transaction that writes the data, **bumps a single "signal" key** the consumer watches: `tr.AtomicIncrement32(subscriber.Key("WATCH"))`. `AtomicIncrement` guarantees the value changes (so the watch always fires) and never conflicts with other producers.
- **Consumer** loops: read a batch; if empty, return a watch on the signal key, `await` it **outside** the transaction, then loop and re-read.
```csharp
while (!ct.IsCancellationRequested)
{
var (batch, watch) = await db.ReadWriteAsync(async tr =>
{
var sub = await location.Resolve(tr);
// snapshot read: scanning the queue shouldn't conflict with producers
var msgs = await tr.Snapshot.GetRangeAsync(sub.Key("INBOX").ToRange(), FdbRangeOptions.WantAll.WithLimit(100));
if (msgs.Count == 0)
return ((FdbRangeChunk?) null, (FdbWatch?) tr.Watch(sub.Key("WATCH"), ct)); // outer token!
tr.ClearRange(msgs.First, FdbKey.Successor(msgs.Last)); // consume exactly what we read
return (msgs, (FdbWatch?) null);
}, ct);
if (watch != null) { await watch; continue; } // notified -> loop, re-read
// dispatch batch...
}
