FlashLogging: Exploiting Flash Devices for Synchronous Logging Performance

Summary: FlashLogging uses multiple USB flash drives to implement synchronous logging for InnoDB. Produces up to 5.7× speedups over magnetic disks with near-ideal performance, cost-competitive with SSDs, and tackles multi-drive coordination, write-latency variance, recovery, and hybrid flash-disk logging.
