Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for determining that a transaction of a plurality of transactions performed in at least a portion of a system includes a delete operation, the plurality of transactions being managed by a secondary transaction manager and including a subset of all transactions performed in the system, in response to the delete operation, inserting a clean-up entry in the secondary transaction manager, attaching the clean-up entry to a subsequent transaction in order to determine and assign a time to the cleanup-entry that is used to subsequently trigger garbage collection, and selectively comparing the time to a most-recently-reported minimum read timestamp that is periodically reported to the secondary transaction manager from a primary transaction manager of the system, wherein the clean-up entry is executed in response to determining that the time is less than the most-recently-reported minimum read timestamp.
