Re: Interesting paper: Contention-Aware Lock Scheduling

Hi hackers,

I saw this today: http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol11/p648-tian.pdf

It describes the "LDSF" (largest-dependency-set-first) lock scheduling
algorithm and related work, as an alternative to the FIFO scheduling
used by PostgreSQL and most other RDBMSs.  LDSF been implemented in
MySQL 8.  The TPC-C results shown are impressive.

Yet another another interesting article  http://cs-www.cs.yale.edu/homes/dna/papers/orthrus-sigmod16.pdf
with completely different approach: they deprive executors from obtaining locks themselves and move all concurrency control to some special workers,
with which executors are communicated using message-passing.
