Scalable Transactions across Heterogeneous NoSQL Key-Value Data Stores

Summary: Scalable multi-item transactions across heterogeneous key-value stores, using only single-item consistency, conditional updates, and embedded value metadata. Client-coordinated protocol with no central coordinator, prototype Java library, evaluated on YCSB. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
