Controlled Lock Violation

Summary: Proposes controlled lock violation, a robust alternative to early lock release for durable logging. It retains locks until log durability but lets other transactions violate during flush, boosting concurrency across all lock modes and replicas. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
