Concurrent Operations on B-Trees with Overtaking
Summary: Presents concurrent B-tree algorithms that reduce updater locking to a single node (vs. 2–3 in LY), lowering contention during searches/inserts. Also introduces a concurrent compression/merge triggered on underflow deletions, with each compression locking up to three nodes.
