A Case for Staged Database Systems

Summary: Replace monolithic, work-centric threaded DBMS with a staged, data-centric architecture: self-contained stages connected by queues, each owning data, resources, and local scheduling. Yields better cache locality, resource isolation, and evolvability under changing workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
