How does LINQ behave under partial failure in distributed query execution?

Updated May 16, 2026

Short answer

LINQ has no built-in mechanism for partial failure recovery in distributed queries.

Deep explanation

When LINQ is used over distributed systems (e.g., federated services or multiple databases), a failure in one source typically causes the entire query to fail. LINQ does not support partial result aggregation or retry semantics. This must be implemented at orchestration level.
