But if it’s part of the transaction group, it should roll back all routes.

C seems plausible too. Scatter-gather might not fit in transactions.

I disagree, A doesn’t make sense. The integrity of the transaction matters.

I’m leaning towards A. Only the errored route should roll back.

I recall that in some cases, only the errored route is rolled back, but that might not apply to scatter-gather. This is tricky!

I practiced a similar question where an error in one route affected the entire transaction, so I feel like option B makes sense here too.
JA
James 4 months ago
I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about scatter-gather not being able to handle transactions well. Maybe option C could be correct?
DI

I think if there's an error in the 4th route, the whole transaction should roll back, so I might lean towards option B.
