• Transaction belongs to a specific node and client connection. When a non-null transaction is provided by the user, partition awareness logic is skipped.

Protocol Changes

1. Add

   new op to get partition assignment for a table
2. Add response flag to track assignment changes

3. PARTITION_ASSIGNMENT_GET operation

   Request
   UUID	table ID

   
   

   Response
   array	Array of node ids, where array index is the partition number

   
   

4. Update standard response message to include flags

   Response
   int	Type = 0
   int	Request id
   int	Flags
   int	Error code (0 for success)
   string	Error message (when error code is not 0)
   ...	Operation-specific data

   
   

5. Include colocation flag in SCHEMAS_GET response.Include ColocationKeys into ClientSchema

Tracking Assignment Changes

...

1. Response flag. All server responses include flags field, and server sets a flag when the assignment has changed since the last response. It is up to the client to retrieve updated assignment when needed. This mechanism is used in Ignite 2.x. 
   Pros: Low overhead, no extra network traffic.
   Cons: Idle clients do not get the update.
   
   
2. Server → client notification. As soon as assignment changes, server sends a message to all clients.
   Pros: Immediate update for all clients.
   Cons: Increased network traffic and server load. Some clients may not need the update at all (not all APIs require this).
   
   
3. PrimaryReplicaMissException (suggested in

   Jira
   server ASF JIRA serverId 5aa69414-a9e9-3523-82ec-879b028fb15b key IGNITE-17394

   comments).
   Pros: No protocol changes.
   Cons: Retry is required on replica miss (complicated & inefficient). Using exceptions for control flow.

First The first approach is battle tested and seems to be the most optimal.
