Title
Indexing large updatable datasets in multi-version database management systems
Abstract
Database Management Systems (DBMS) need to handle large updatable datasets in on-line transaction processing (OLTP) workloads. Most modern DBMS provide snapshots of data in multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) transaction management scheme. Each transaction operates on a snapshot of the database, which is calculated from a set of tuple versions. High parallelism and resource-efficient append-only data placement on secondary storage is enabled. One major issue in indexing tuple versions on modern hardware technologies is the high write amplification for tree-indexes. Partitioned B-Trees (PBT) [5] is based on the structure of the ubiquitous B+-Tree [8]. They achieve a near optimal write amplification and beneficial sequential writes on secondary storage. Yet they have not been implemented in a MVCC enabled DBMS to date. In this paper we present the implementation of PBTs in PostgreSQL extended with SIAS. Compared to PostgreSQL's B+-Trees PBTs have 50% better transaction throughput under TPC-C and a 30% improvement to standard PostgreSQL with Heap-Only Tuples.
