Description

With the horizontal scheduling design, we need to determine the economics:

[ ] Who pays for pre-execution to get predicted read/write sets?
[ ] If a txn aborts because the real read/write set differs, who pays for the aborted execution? Do we re-submit into the queue (and do we recompute the read/write sets [who pays])?
[ ] Who pays for the transaction scheduler, merge, and other "internal" committees? Are these optional? Can others submit transaction results to merge?

For each of these design questions/choices, what are the API changes (if any) needed to handle them?

Are there other economic design questions / choices?

Research direction

Start with the horizontal scheduling design and the three listed economics questions. Map each decision to any required API changes, including handling predicted read/write sets, aborted transactions, and internal committees. Done means the economic choices, remaining questions, and API impact are documented.
