Well, it removes all locking and achieves scalability only if you partition (shard) the data and don't have cross-partition transactions.

VoltDB does support cross-partition transactions. They're not as fast as single-partition transactions, of course, because you're doing them over a network. But distributed transactions have been a supported feature since 1.0.

Right, that's what I meant. You only get scalability as long as you don't have cross-partition transactions.
