- Block the write method call until the RS is happy the entry is persisted safely
Could you define what you mean by "persisted safely"? Do you count getting it to non-volatile storage, or does it need to be stored on multiple servers? If the transaction is in non-volatile storage but that storage is attached to a dead server, the entry exists only in a very theoretical sense, and attempts to read or take it would fail.
I feel that distributed transactions are sufficiently closely related that they should be discussed in the same Jira.
