Index Checkpoints for Instant Recovery in In-Memory Database Systems

Summary: Shifts recovery bottleneck in in-memory DBs from log replay to index rebuilding via index checkpoints. Proposes three wait-free index checkpoint algorithms—ChainIndex, MirrorIndex, IACoW—plus deferred deletion and on-demand cleanup for correctness; evaluated in HiEngine on TPC-C and Microbench, achieving ~10s instant recovery with 5–11% overhead.
