Modular Synchronization in Multiversion Databases: Version Control and Concurrency Control
Summary: A modular MVCC framework via decoupled version control and concurrency control. Read-only transactions run independently of the concurrency control, enabling modular protocol design and easier correctness proofs; version-control MVCC offers advantages over traditional MVCC.
