Dandelion: Smaller Clusters, Bigger Speeds—Distributed Transactions Redefined
Summary: Dandelion targets small RDMA-based in-memory KVS clusters, exploiting locality via transparent request batching, batched/prefetched hash-table access, and strongly consistent reads from local backups. These optimizations deliver up to 6.5× FaSST throughput on five machines. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
