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?
