Trekking Through Siberia: Managing Cold Data in a Memory-Optimized Database

Summary: Introduces Siberia, a system for cold-data management in Hekaton, enabling online migration of cold records to storage via a unified hot/cold interface. Online reads/writes across hot/cold stores with isolation levels, yielding 7-14% throughput loss. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
