Carousel: Low-Latency Transaction Processing for Globally-Distributed Data

Summary: Carousel enables low-latency serializable multi-partition transactions across geo data by overlapping reads with 2PC and replication. Parallel-consensus enables replication during commit; 2FI transactions need at most two WAN round-trips, usually one. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
