Is Scalable OLTP in the Cloud a Solved Problem? Analyzing Data Access for Distributed OLTP Architectures
Summary: Data-access analysis shows shared-storage OLTP with multiple writers plus cache coherence scales writes and skewed reads by on-demand hot-tuple caching. Avoids manual partitioning and pervasive 2PC of shared-nothing systems, demonstrating practical merits and open research challenges.
