> Today, Omid's commits are done by the transaction manager. In order to 
> efficiently write to the commit table, the transaction manager batches these 
> writes. This optimization, even thought reduces the write time to HBase, 
> significantly increases the begin and commit latency. The commit latency 
> increases since a commit operation returns only after its commit timestamp 
> was persisted in the commit table. And the begin latency increases since 
> begin returns a transaction id that is also used by the transaction to 
> identify its snapshot and therefore, begin returns only after all commits 
> with commit id smaller than the begin id was persisted in the commit table. 
> This is crucial, since a snapshot change during a transaction run may violate 
> snapshot isolation. 
>  
> The idea of this feature is to distribute the commit by moving the write to 
> the commit table from the server to the client. The transaction manager does 
> conflict analysis and returns a commit timestamp. While the client atomically 
> persists this commit in the commit table.
> This significantly reduces the begin and commit latency, since batching is 
> not required anymore. A begin operation can immediately returns and a commit 
> operation returns after conflict detection. 
> This can introduce snapshot isolation violation since a slow client can 
> commit and change other transaction's snapsho. Therefore, we use an 
> invalidation technique which is similar to the one Omid uses today to 
> maintain snapshot isolation in high availability mode.
