Skeena: Efficient and Consistent Cross-Engine Transactions
Summary: Skeena enables cross-engine transactions across heterogeneous engines (in-memory and storage-centric). A lightweight snapshot-tracking structure with an atomic commit protocol ensures correctness across isolation levels, enabling up to 30x throughput via cross-engine table placement.
