Due to the gradual failure of Moore’s law,traditional centralized data processing systems begin to show performance bottlenecks,which can’t effectively support the rapid development of current business.At the same time,due to the security,cost,policy and other reasons,the transformation of the original centralized data processing system into a distributed data processing system has become the only way.The significance,present situation and prospect of distributed transaction data processing system from its development background,advantages and challenges,technical characteristics,application points,future development direction were introduced.A theoretical basis and guidance for the application and development of distributed transaction data processing system was provided.
