> The following case can create data inconsistency:
> A: txA reads k with version v1 and writes on k (say valueA)
> primary-owner of k: txA acquire lock on k, validates and return v2 (increment(v1))
> non-primary-onwer of k: txA registers a backup lock, validates and returns v2 (increment(v1))
> A: txA commits with version v2.
> primary-owner of k: applies txA //commit in the non-primary-owner is delayed
> B: txB remote reads k with version v2 and writes on k (say valueB) and prepare the transaction
> primary-owner of k: txB waits until the lock is relased.
> non-primary-onwer of k: txA registers a backup lock, validates and returns v2 (increment(v1), because it has not applied the txA)
> primary-owner of k: lock is release, txB is validated and it return v3 (increment(v2))
> B collects all the response and merge them. However, the map.value() can return first the response from primary-owner (v3) and them the response from the non-primary-owner (v2). The result version map will be k=>v2.
> txB will update k with the same previous version and a different value. from here the data will become inconsistent.
