There will be a lot of avenues in which to improve transactions after they are delivered and it is hard to predict what will get the investment when. Proper global indexes are likely to follow on the heels of transactions, as they solve most of the problem. Though transactions being one-shot and needing to declare partition-keys upfront means there’s some optimistic concurrency control required. Interactive transactions supporting pessimistic concurrency and without needing to declare the involved keys will also hopefully follow, at which point indexes are very trivial, but the same caveat as above applies.
