> Each database has a single partitioned RAFT-replicated log that is used to derive a total order of all transaction effects, and that handles all cross-region network communication.
But if each partition knows about all the reads in a transaction and verifies all the timestamps, that sounds workable. Not that I'm in any way qualified to pass judgment on something like this, but I feel like I have a little bit of understanding. Overall it sounds really cool and the idea of agreeing on inputs instead of outputs is tremendously clever.
