Two Techniques for On-Line Index Modification in Shared Nothing Parallel Databases
Summary: Two online index-modification techniques for shared-nothing DBs: OAT (one-at-a-time) and BULK (bulk). BULK: order-of-magnitude faster with sequential prefetch I/O; OAT uses ≤1 extra page; with 1–2 indexes OAT preserves transactional performance; for >2 indexes both degrade similarly.
