This looks like another one of those awesome '80s database papers. Woo, R*! I think I'll pass.
** Update (Nov. 29, 2010): For some reason this blog entry seems to be attracting lots of traffic. Sadly, I don't have a review to offer of this paper, but I can share a quote and some advice for you if you want to learn more about Two-Phase Commit.
"Two-phase commit: isn't that just like a simplified Paxos?" My advice: read the original Two-Phase Commit paper by Mohan, Lindsay, and Obermarck. Then read Lamport's "Paxos Made Simple." Then re-read "Two-Phase Commit" and enjoy how easy the algorithm is.
