Nova-LSM: A Distributed, Component-based LSM-tree Key-value Store
Summary: Nova-LSM is a distributed, component-based LSM-tree KV store (LTC, LogC, StoC) using RDMA to decouple storage from processing and scale components independently. It enables range-based partitioning and flexible SSTable placement across StoCs, with replication/parity for availability and durability, delivering elastic performance beyond LevelDB/RocksDB on skewed workloads.
