Transaction processing is fundamental for many modern applications. These applications require the backend transaction processing engines to be available at all times as well as provide a massive horizontal scale for intensive transaction requests. Concurrency control and Recovery features recent progress in research in online transaction processing and showcases the authors' recent research results on a highly scalable OLTP system. Its contents include the designs of an efficient multiple version storage engine, a scalable range optimistic concurrency control, high-performance Paxos-based log replication, global snapshot isolation, and fast follower recovery. This book is written for professionals, researchers, and graduate students specialising in database systems and its related fields.
