Experiments With B-Tree Reorganization
Summary: Explicit B-tree reorganization to defer root splits is proposed, challenging the view that dynamic balancing suffices. A tunable storage-utilization reorganization algorithm is evaluated with simulations, demonstrating economic feasibility under targeted workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
