[ cross posting to operators ]

An update.
I added Appendix B there I made a few more tests dancing mostly around
that funny topic [0] full of interesting nuances, and there I tried to
cover some generic patterns OpenStack uses for transactions constructed
by sqlalchemy's ORM (I hope so).

Those test cases cover a5a read skews, SERIALIZABLE / RR / RC TI levels,
lock modes for select, and wsrep_sync_wait Galera settings. And reworked
conclusions and recommendations sections by the new tests results as well.

For now, I've finished all items I had on my TODO list for that paper.
If anyone would like to do more test runs, re-use the given approach to
the cluster-labs' upstream OCF RA or re-check with another configuration
tunings (mostly to wsrep& like things perhaps), you're welcome! I'm open
for questions, if any.

Also note, that with all submitted fixes to those multiple
testing-discovered bugs, cluster recovery after network partitions have
been working almost seamlessly, for me :-) For those who interested, the
full list of related bugs is easy to locate in this backport's commit
message [2].

The link is the same [1].
