Revisiting Commit Processing in Distributed Database Systems
Summary: Simulation-based profiling shows commit processing often dominates throughput relative to data processing. OPT, an optimistic protocol borrowing uncommitted data, coexists with Presumed Commit/Abort and, in a three-phase form, outperforms standard two-phase protocols.
