To which of Jim's contribution are you referring to? I wasn't aware he designed a scale-out ACID transaction principle.

by shin_lao 14y ago
What's problematic is when you have a transaction that span amongst several nodes and you need to reconcile several transactions (commit phase). The usual way to do it is to refuse the transaction if a conflict is detected, however this is

French don't work 35 hours a week, we work much more than that. Only basic employees do that. I probably have around a 50 hours work week.

Objection 1: The OP should take a look at the STL. Coupling N algorithms and M structures may lead to M * N implementations where you really want only N + M implementations. Additionally, decoupling algorithms and structures will probably m
