Accordion: Better Memory Organization for LSM Key-Value Stores

Summary: Accordion re-applies LSM principles to in-memory organization, reducing fragmented layouts and compaction pressure in managed-language key-value stores. Integrated into Apache HBase, it delivers double-digit gains while reducing write slowdown and disk wear. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
