A Locking Protocol For Resource Coordination In Distributed Databases
Summary: Centralized locking for distributed DBs; partition-tolerant, enabling local work and reconnection merge. Supports locking disciplines and communication, with three recovery modes: single-node, partition merge, controller reconstruction. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
