Question

Distribution transparency is the ability of a distributed system to manage data as if it were a centralized system. It hides the fact that the data is physically dispersed across multiple nodes and provides a unified view of the database to the users and applications. Transaction transparency ensures that transactions are executed correctly across all nodes, failure transparency enables the system to continue operating even if some nodes fail, and performance transparency provides a consistent level of performance across the distributed system. However, none of these concepts directly relate to managing a distributed database as though it were centralized, which is the focus of distribution transparency.
