Interoperable ACID Transactions for Open Table Formats

Summary: Object-store-native mechanisms provide multi-table atomicity, consistency, and isolation for interoperable open table formats without external coordinators. LakeVilla delivers full ACID, scalable concurrency, and compatibility with existing OTF deployments and Trino. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
