ConfluxDB: Multi-Master Replication for Partitioned Snapshot Isolation Databases

Summary: Multi-master replication for partitioned SI DBs enables updates across several masters to scale writes. It sets a total SI order without global coordination, enabling consistent installation across sites; ConfluxDB, Postgres-based, validates scalable replication.
