Maintaining Consistency of Client-Cached Data

Summary: Introduces cache-lock and notify-lock protocols for maintaining client-cache consistency, extending two-phase locking with three lock modes. Simulation shows caching improves throughput; cache locks are robust, while notify locks can excel but degrade under contention and load. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
