Sherman: A Write-Optimized Distributed B+Tree Index on Disaggregated Memory
Summary: Sherman: write-optimized distributed B+Tree for disaggregated memory. RDMA in-order command coalescing, NIC-on-chip hierarchical locks, and two-level versioning reduce write amplification; yields dramatic throughput and tail-latency gains.
