Interesting paper: Contention-Aware Lock Scheduling

Hi hackers,

I saw this today: http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol11/p648-tian.pdf

It describes the "LDSF" (largest-dependency-set-first) lock scheduling
algorithm and related work, as an alternative to the FIFO scheduling
used by PostgreSQL and most other RDBMSs.  LDSF been implemented in
MySQL 8.  The TPC-C results shown are impressive.
