Can you please explain in detail, why you think so?  There is no
commit message explaining what each patch does so it is difficult to
understand why you said so?  Also, can you let us know if this
supports 2PC in some way and if so how is it different from what the
other thread on the same topic [1] is trying to achieve?  Also, I
would like to know if the patch related to CSN based snapshot [2] is a
precursor for this, if not, then is it any way related to this patch
because I see the latest reply on that thread [2] which says it is an
infrastructure of sharding feature but I don't understand completely
whether these patches are related?

Basically, there seem to be three threads, first, this one and then
[1] and [2] which seems to be doing the work for sharding feature but
there is no clear explanation anywhere if these are anyway related or
whether combining all these three we are aiming for a solution for
atomic commit and atomic visibility.

I am not sure if you know answers to all these questions so I added
the people who seem to be working on the other two patches.  I am also
afraid that if there is any duplicate or conflicting work going on in
these threads so we should try to find that as well.
