STAR: Scaling Transactions through Asymmetric Replication
Summary: STAR is an in-memory DB with asymmetric replication: some replicas non-partitioned, others partitioned. A phase-switch scheme splits single- and cross-partition traffic, letting a master run serializable transactions without 2PC, boosting throughput and uptime (YCSB/TPC-C).
