Aria: A Fast and Practical Deterministic OLTP Database

Summary: Aria is a distributed, deterministic OLTP DB that eliminates the requirement to know read/write sets ahead of time. It runs a batch against a single snapshot, then deterministically commits without cross-replica coordination, using a reordering scheme to reduce conflicts; up to 2x throughput on YCSB and TPC-C.
