bq. All data centers involved in a repair must be available for a repair to start/succeed, so if we make the lock resource dc-aware and try to create the lock by contacting a node in each involved data center with LOCAL_SERIAL consistency that should be sufficient to ensure correctness without the need for a global lock. This will also play along well with both dc_parallelism global option and with the --local or --dcs table repair options.

As it is right now I don't think it's possible to forward a LWT query to another node (at least not through the MessagingService). I guess we wouldn't want to do the access through the native layer since that would require that we have auth and encryption configured. So I think there are a couple of options here:
# More expressive consistency levels, perhaps CASSANDRA-8119? (e.g. "QUORUM in DC1")
# Make it possible to forward a LWT requests and have a node in the other dc act as a coordinator for the request.
# Extend the current LWT implementation to be able to coordinate "LOCAL_SERIAL" in a remote dc.
# Create separate lock keyspaces for each dc.

I think that 3 & 4 should be possible to implement directly but 1 & 2 would probably require a protocol change. It should be possible to start by extending the current LWT implementation and then switch to either 1 or 2 later on if needed.

WDYT?
