BP-Tree: Overcoming the Point-Range Operation Tradeoff for In-Memory B⁺-trees
This thesis presents the BP-tree, an efficient concurrent key-value store based on the B⁺-tree, that uses large leaf nodes to optimize for range-query performance without sacrificing update speed by using large leaf nodes. B⁺-trees are a fundamental data structure for implementing in-memory indexes …
