The node further includes a repository manager that obtains a cross-shard read request for the high accessibility data, makes a determination that the portion of the high accessibility data is not in the reading state, in response to the determination, adds the cross-shard read request to a delayed action queue at the revision of a last delayed action in the delayed action queue, and after processing the last delayed action in the delayed action queue and while in the resolving state: converts the cross-shard read request to a read request, and processes the read request.”
