This branch introduces a new scheduling algorithm (Variance-Aware-Transaction-Scheduling, VATS) for the record lock manager of InnoDB and XtraDB. Instead of using First-Come-First-Served (FCFS), the newly introduced algorithm uses an Eldest-Transaction-First (ETF) heuristic, which prefers older transactions over new ones. A configuration parameter (innodb_lock_schedule_algorithm) is introduced for users to choose between VATS and FCFS (the default one). We've extensively tested this algorithm in many workloads. The algorithm is very simple, and the changes are very local, but it significantly improves performance (in terms of average latency and throughput) and predictability (in terms of reduction of tail and quantile latencies) For more details, please refer to this paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.01871
