An Optimistic Commit Protocol for Distributed Transaction Management

Summary: An optimistic 2PC variant uses compensating transactions to release locks on commit vote, eliminating blocking and delivering semantic atomicity. Presents a semantics-based correctness criterion, reduces to serializability when no global aborts, and offers practical protocols that touch only global transactions while reusing standard 2PC messages.
