Compatibility And Commutativity In Non-Two-Phase Locking Protocols

Summary: Introduces INV, a novel lock mode for non-two-phase locking on DAG-structured data that decouples commutativity from compatibility to enable higher concurrency than traditional lock modes. Analyzes INV's impact on deadlocks, giving conditions for deadlock-freedom and simple removal methods. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
