Adaptive Optimistic Concurrency Control for Heterogeneous Workloads

Summary: Adaptive Optimistic Concurrency Control (AOCC) selects the cheapest validation method at runtime. It assigns per-transaction and per-operation validators based on operation type and workload characteristics to optimize validation costs for heterogeneous in-memory workloads.
