Abstract
Method, apparatus and system for assigning a commit sequence number (CSN) to a WRITE transaction in a network having nodes and a global time server. The CSN is defined by a timestamp of the WRITE transaction and an error bound of the timestamp. The WRITE transaction is committed after the timestamp is issued and an amount of time equal to the error bound plus a time adjust value has passed. The time adjust value is based on round-trip times between the plurality of nodes and the global time server. The time adjust value may be the longest expected round-trip time. By waiting for an amount of time equal to the error bound plus the time adjust value, any READ transaction occurring after the WRITE transaction may receive a READ timestamp without any delay, provided the READ timestamp error bound is less than or equal to the time adjust value.
