SLOG: Serializable, Low-latency, Geo-replicated Transactions

Summary: SLOG: Serializable, Low-latency, Geo-replicated Transactions. Exploits physical region locality to deliver strictly serializable ACID across geo-replication with low-latency local-origin writes and high throughput under contention; latency drops vs Spanner/Calvin by an order of magnitude.
