Ocean Vista: Gossip-Based Visibility Control for Speedy Geo-Distributed Transactions
Summary: Gossip-based visibility with version watermarks enables strict serializability for geo-distributed transactions using a multi-version protocol. Asynchronous watermark gossip decouples concurrency control and replication, enabling parallel conflict resolution and one-round-trip write-quorum/read-one paths, beating TAPIR by up to 10x.
