Accordion: Elastic Scalability for Database Systems Supporting Distributed Transactions

Summary: Accordion enables elastic scaling for partitioned DBMSs with ACID distributed transactions by modeling partition affinity and its throughput impact. A MILP-driven placement strategy outperforms heuristics by up to 10× in servers used and data migrated. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
