A Cost-Effective Method for Providing Improved Data Availability During DBMS Restart Recovery After a Failure

Summary: Enables transaction processing before DBMS restart recovery completes by exploiting Commit-LSNs, improving availability after failure. Supports fine-grained semantic locking, operation logging, partial rollback, WAL, and steal/no-force with negligible runtime overhead and few implementation changes.
