We found two main challenges in reconciling ... high contention (contention in- dex = 0.01). Under lower contention (contention index ≤ 0.001), we found that no delay was necessary beyond the default delay caused by collecting transaction requests ... placing an order on an eCommerce application. Since the focus of our experiments are on distributed transactions, we limited our TPC-C implementation to only New Order transactions. We would expect,...
