Describe performance transparency and heterogeneity transparency
Performance transparency allows the system to perform as if it were a centralized DBMS. The system will not suffer any performance degradation due to its use on a network or because of the network's platform differences. Performance transparency also ensures that the system will find the most cost-effective path to access remote data. The system should be able to "scale out" in a transparent manner, or increase performance capacity by adding more transaction or data-processing nodes, without affecting the overall performance of the system.
