Message Futures: Fast Commitment of Transactions in Multi-datacenter Environments

Summary: Message Futures: a strongly-consistent concurrency-control manager for geo-replicated datacenters that uses judicious, opportunistic message passing to allow many transactions to commit locally without wide-area coordination. Supports tunable per-datacenter priorities, achieving ~1 RTT commits for equal-priority sites and near-local latency for high-priority sites (validated experimentally).
