Timestamp reassignment: taming transaction abort for serializable snapshot isolation

摘要

Serializable snapshot isolation (SSI) is a promising technique to exploit parallelism for multi-core databases. However, SSI suffers from excessive transaction aborts. Existing remedies have three drawbacks: 1) tracking prohibitively transitive dependencies; 2) aborting on every write-write conflict; and 3) requiring manual annotation on transaction programs.
