Otherwise, as in the case of partial failure, no changes are committed.
Two phase commit ensures that state is not changed in a partial manner.
Another solution to partial failure is redundancy, or replication.

+If one replica of a computation fails, the others may survive and continue.
Replication can also be used to improve performance, as in MapReduce and Spark Streaming.
Checkpoint and restore has also been implemented as a way to recover from partial failure.
By serializing a recent "snapshot" of state to stable storage, recomputing current state is made cheap.
