Aster: Enhancing LSM-structures for Scalable Graph Database

Summary: Poly-LSM is a graph-oriented LSM-tree with a hybrid storage model for compact, efficient graph data; adaptive I/O handles edge insertions and deletions. Aster implements this as a Gremlin-enabled graph DB, using skew-aware encoding; delivers up to 17x throughput on billion-scale graphs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
