Original Abstract Submitted
The subject technology receives, at a first execution node, a first transaction, the first transaction to be executed on linearizable storage. The subject technology determines whether the first execution node corresponds to a rank indicating a leader worker. The subject technology, in response to the first execution node corresponding to the rank indicating the leader worker, performs, by the first execution node, an initialization process for executing the first transaction. The subject technology broadcasts a first read timestamp associated with the first transaction to a set of execution nodes, the set of execution nodes being different than the first execution node. The subject technology executes, by the first execution node, at least a first operation from the first transaction.
