Scalable and Robust Snapshot Isolation for High-Performance Storage Engines
Summary: Shows MVCC snapshot isolation collapses under long-running readers and that existing out-of-memory commit protocols fail to scale on modern multicore storage engines. Proposes three multicore-scalable remedies: a low-communication, write-set-free commit enabling fine-grained GC; a Graveyard Index to hide deleted tuples; and adaptive version storage to accelerate GC and scans.
