A Case for Fractured Mirrors

Summary: Revisits DSM’s tuple-reconstruction costs, proposing simple indexing and improved reconstruction algorithms. Introduces fractured mirrors, an NSM/DSM hybrid that mirrors layouts to combine columnar I/O and row-wise reconstruction for ad-hoc workloads. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
