Epoxy: ACID Transactions Across Diverse Data Stores

Summary: Epoxy gives ACID transactions across heterogeneous data stores by adapting MVCC: storing per-record version metadata and filtering reads with metadata predicates to expose a global transaction snapshot. Its atomic commit requires only durable writes (no participant 2PC); implemented for Postgres, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, GCS, and MySQL, it matches XA performance with modest overhead.
