Locking Data for Concurrency Control

NCache operates in a clustered environment where multiple clients can access and update the same cache data concurrently. Without concurrency control, simultaneous updates to the same cache item can overwrite one another and cause data inconsistency. NCache provides pessimistic and optimistic locking mechanisms to maintain data integrity during concurrent operations.
