+title: Optimistic Offline Lock
+category: Concurrency
+language: en
+tag:
+- Data access
+---
+
+## Intent
+
+Provide an ability to avoid concurrent changes of one record in relational databases.
+
+## Explanation
+
+Each transaction during object modifying checks equation of object's version before start of transaction
+and before commit itself.
+
+**Real world example**
+> Since people love money, the best (and most common) example is banking system:
+> imagine you have 100$ on your e-wallet and two people are trying to send you 50$ both at a time.
+> Without locking, your system will start **two different thread**, each of whose will read your current balance
+> and just add 50$. The last thread won't re-read balance and will just rewrite it.
+> So, instead 200$ you will have only 150$.
+
+**In plain words**
+> Each transaction during object modifying will save object's last version and check it before saving.
+> If it differs, the transaction will be rolled back.
+
+**Wikipedia says**
+> Optimistic concurrency control (OCC), also known as optimistic locking,
+> is a concurrency control method applied to transactional systems such as
+> relational database management systems and software transactional memory.
+
+**Programmatic Example**  
+Let's simulate the case from *real world example*. Imagine we have next entity:
+
+```java
+import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
+import lombok.Data;
+import lombok.NoArgsConstructor;
+
+/**
+ * Bank card entity.
+ */
+@Data
+@NoArgsConstructor
+@AllArgsConstructor
+public class Card {
+
+  /**
+   * Primary key.
+   */
+  private long id;
+
+  /**
+   * Foreign key points to card's owner.
+   */
+  private long personId;
+
+  /**
+   * Sum of money. 
+   */
+  private float sum;
+
+  /**
+   * Current version of object;
+   */
+  private int version;
+}
+```
+
+Then the correct modifying will be like this:
+
+```java
+
+import lombok.RequiredArgsConstructor;
+
+/**
+ * Service to update {@link Card} entity.
+ */
+@RequiredArgsConstructor
+public class CardUpdateService implements UpdateService<Card> {
+
+  private final JpaRepository<Card> cardJpaRepository;
+
+  @Override
+  @Transactional(rollbackFor = ApplicationException.class) //will roll back transaction in case ApplicationException
+  public Card doUpdate(Card card, long cardId) {
+    float additionalSum = card.getSum();
+    Card cardToUpdate = cardJpaRepository.findById(cardId);
+    int initialVersion = cardToUpdate.getVersion();
+    float resultSum = cardToUpdate.getSum() + additionalSum;
+    cardToUpdate.setSum(resultSum);
+    //Maybe more complex business-logic e.g. HTTP-requests and so on
+
+    if (initialVersion != cardJpaRepository.getEntityVersionById(cardId)) {
+      String exMessage = String.format("Entity with id %s were updated in another transaction", cardId);
+      throw new ApplicationException(exMessage);
+    }
+
+    cardJpaRepository.update(cardToUpdate);
+    return cardToUpdate;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Applicability
+
+Since optimistic locking can cause degradation of system's efficiency and reliability due to
+many retries/rollbacks, it's important to use it safely. They are useful in case when transactions are not so long
+and does not distributed among many microservices, when you need to reduce network/database overhead.
+
+Important to note that you should not choose this approach in case when modifying one object
+in different threads is common situation.

+
+## Known uses
+
+- [Hibernate ORM](https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.3/devguide/en-US/html/ch05.html)
+
+## Consequences
+
+**Advantages**:
+
+- Reduces network/database overhead
+- Let to avoid database deadlock
+- Improve the performance and scalability of the application
+
+**Disadvantages**:
+
+- Increases complexity of the application
+- Requires mechanism of versioning
+- Requires rollback/retry mechanisms
