An Evaluation of Generic Bulk Loading Techniques

Summary: Two generic, simple bulk-loading algorithms for arbitrary index structures, using recursive partitioning with a main-memory index of the same type as the target. Experiments on R-tree and Slim-tree workloads show these methods outperform asymptotically optimal competitors and improve search quality. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
