This disclosure provides a request
processing method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: when a target data area of a
database is detected to meet the triggering conditions for a write request, obtaining a first write request currently triggered in the target data area, wherein the target data area is any data storage unit corresponding to the
database; if a write request for the target data area already exists in a preset write request query
queue, then determining that a target timed write request exists in the target data area; the target timed write request is a triggered and pending timed write request, and the target timed write request has a set
delay time; setting the
delay time of the target timed write request to zero, and the target timed write request is executed immediately; and storing the first write request in the write request query
queue. According to the method of this disclosure, the probability of
client write blocking to data areas in the
database can be reduced, and the read / write performance of the database can be improved.
