Scalable Distributed Inverted List Indexes in Disaggregated Memory
Summary: Block-based distributed inverted lists for disaggregated memory: spreads skewed postings across memory nodes to balance load and keep compute-node state small. Uses interleaved RDMA accesses plus optimistic concurrency for scalable queries/updates, avoiding OOM and latency bottlenecks of prior horizontal/vertical partitioning.
