I'd be surprised to see how they can be truly ACID and truly scale out.
This is an unsolved problem to me, I submit there are fine prints regarding ACID or scalability...
Jim Gray solved it in the 80s, but then we forgot about it.
To which of Jim's contribution are you referring to? I wasn't aware he designed a scale-out ACID transaction principle.
I was thinking of http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/gray/papers/TE... although in retrospect I'm not sure if they implemented cross-node transactions.
To my knowledge, ACID transactions and scale-out architectures are mutually exclusive, unless I missed a major breakthrough.
Two-phase commit?
