Squall: Fine-Grained Live Reconfiguration for Partitioned Main Memory Databases

Summary: Fine-grained live reconfiguration for partitioned, main-memory DBMSs. Squall enables real-time repartitioning with distributed transactions and replicated data, achieving zero downtime and minimal latency overhead under high-throughput OLTP workloads.
