Why is it lazy? Seems like leveraging a tool Google built for distributed systems specifically for consistency guarantees.

As I understood it from context, the word lazy was being used to complain that the reference to Spanner wasn’t in-lined.

Right. As someone who's not a systems guru, I would love some insight if/how the consistency guarantees can be achieved using common distributed database approaches.
