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


I was thinking of http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/gray/papers/TE... although in retrospect I'm not sure if they implemented cross-node transactions.


To my knowledge, ACID transactions and scale-out architectures are mutually exclusive, unless I missed a major breakthrough.


Two-phase commit?
