PolarDB-MP: A Multi-Primary Cloud-Native Database via Disaggregated Shared Memory

Summary: PolarDB-MP: the first multi-primary cloud-native DB using disaggregated shared memory and storage to coordinate transactions without distributed commits. PMFS delivers global coordination via Transaction Fusion, Buffer Fusion, and Lock Fusion over RDMA, plus an LLSN-based WAL ordering and recovery policy, achieving strong high-conflict throughput.
