---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cross table consistent reads are of fundamental importance.
Once you allow that they are useful for consistent index reads, then you have
admitted that they are useful for for direct consumption by users, since we are
constantly advising them to build their own index solutions since 2i are
horrendously weak. That pressure will be only slightly reduced with global
indexes.
Even separate from custom (client-side) 2i implementations, having all or
nothing read visibility of writes spanning tables captures fundamental business
logic that is either painfully worked around today, or else is glossed over as
statistically unlikely (depending on the r/w patterns) and the race conditions
duly ignored.
It would be a tragic mistake to ignore the benefits of the gains in correctness
that can be achieved.

> We should take a look at

> transactions, and figure out if they can be used to provide more efficient
> LWT (or LWT-like) operations.
