Calvin: Fast Distributed Transactions for Partitioned Database Systems

Summary: Deterministic scheduling and replication for partitioned storage enable high-throughput transactions with minimal cross-partition contention. Replicating inputs (not effects) enables multiple consistency levels, including Paxos-style geo-replication, with near-linear disk-based scaling and no single point of failure.
