On Totally Ordering Checkpoints In Distributed Data Bases

Summary: Proposes a cold-restart solution for distributed DBs with low-communication and partial cooperation among transaction managers during normal operation. Maintains a globally uniform total order of local checkpoints, continuously available to speed restarts and allow some nodes to skip log parsing when needed.
