Implementing SERIALIZABLE isolation level based on GMU ------------------------------------------------------ Key: ISPN-3159 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-3159 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Transactions Reporter: Pedro Ruivo Assignee: Pedro Ruivo Fix For: 7.1.0.Beta1 Implementation based in GMU, a Cloud-TM project research (www.cloudtm.eu). GMU is a muti-version scheme that provides Update Serializability. It allows the read-only transaction to proceed without blocking, but they can observe an old value (but always a consistent value). This scheme relies in Vector Clock to manage the snapshots to read and the transaction dependencies in each node in the cluster. Also, it is a genuine scheme, i.e., only the nodes involved in the transaction (that contains data read or write) are involved in the transaction commit.
