Did not digest the paper yet. Does it provide nested transactions?
My understanding from 2012 paper was that it doesn't support nested transactions, even at the storage layer.
Can anybody provide insider-knowledge if it was even a requested feature from Google devs internally?
- elvinyung 9y agoSince writes are required to be the last step of a transaction, I suspect there wouldn't be much of a point in having nested transactions.
- sanxiyn 9y agoFrom the paper: > Overcoming this limitation requires supporting reading the uncommitted results within an active transaction. While we have seen comparatively little demand for this feature internally, supporting such semantics improves compatibility with other SQL systems and their ecosystems and is on our long-term radar. No internal demand, but on "long-term radar".
