The Performance Of A Multiversion Access Method
Summary: Time-Split B-tree, an integrated index for a versioned timestamped DB, migrates data to history as nodes split. Analyzes redundancy, space utilization, and insert/update performance across insertion-vs-update mixes; compares three policies (time vs key-space) and two split types.
