Dissecting, Designing, and Optimizing LSM-based Data Stores
Summary: Structured, tutorial-like treatment of LSM trees, detailing core operations, access paths, and ingestion/compaction tradeoffs for researchers. Surveys recent optimizations and the design space across ingestion, reads, and queries, offering a roadmap to tune LSM engines and identify open challenges. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
