Locking Key Ranges with Unbundled Transaction Services
Summary: Unbundles transaction services from the data component to tailor platforms; locking must be logical as DC remains opaque. Two strategies for key-range locks: speculative DC reads to learn keys, or lock a covering resource first; partitions as covering resources boost concurrency.
