Commit_LSN: A Novel and Simple Method for Reducing Locking and Latching in Transaction Processing Systems

Summary: Presents Commit_LSN, a lightweight LSN-based commit inference that reduces locking. Uses oldest active tx's first log to infer commit via page_LSN < Commit-LSN, enabling finer locking and higher concurrency; supports systems with or without page-LSNs.
