Cloud Actor-Oriented Database Transactions in Orleans

Summary: Orleans implements ACID transactions across virtual actors and pluggable cloud stores. Early lock release with dependency-tracked cascading abort, plus reconnaissance prefetching, hides cloud-storage latency and enables distributed group commit without prolonged 2PC blocking.
