What is recorded here?
Described a globally distributed, synchronously replicated database using TrueTime clock-uncertainty bounds to support externally consistent transactions and timestamped reads under its deployment assumptions.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact twenty-six-author OSDI 2012 paper. It documents the system and measurements reported there; it does not absorb Paxos, Bigtable, later Spanner revisions, all Google operational contributions or generic distributed-SQL guarantees.
