Key-Value Storage Engines

Summary: Survey of KV storage engines: core structures, memory hierarchy, caching, concurrency, updates, and mixed OLAP/OLTP workloads. Introduces a unified modeling framework and a first descriptive language to compare designs; notes AI-era challenges (neural nets, graphs, data versioning). (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
