Tabular: Efficiently Building Efficient Indexes

Summary: Tabular models indexes as ACID tables so index logic can be written single‑threaded while concurrency and durability are handled transparently. Using modern high‑performance OLTP techniques, Tabular makes this feasible and yields indexes competitive with hand‑crafted ones while improving developer productivity.
