Asymmetric-Partition Replication for Highly Scalable Distributed Transaction Processing in Practice

Summary: Asymmetric-partition replication enables replica partitioning from the primary to scale OLTP/OLAP workloads, enables a distributed secondary index, and supports online re-partitioning. Optimistic synchronous commit avoids 2PC while preserving consistency; proven in SAP HANA with strong gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
