K2: On Optimizing Distributed Transactions in a Multi-region Data Store with TrueTime Clocks
Summary: K2 co-designs TrueTime and multi-region transactions with scalable timestamp generation, MV timestamp-ordering, and TTC-based replica visibility. It delivers 10× higher throughput than geo-distributed protocols while reducing asynchronous-replica visibility delay. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
