New Concurrency Control Algorithms for Accessing and Compacting B-Trees

Summary: Survey of B-tree concurrency control; proposes a new approach using variable-length indices, a single lock for access, and preemptive splits with delayed catenations. Also presents a concurrent compaction algorithm with its own lock type. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
