On-line Reorganization of Sparsely-populated B+-trees
Summary: Online reorg of sparsely-populated B+-trees, leaves-first leaf-group compaction with key-order preservation. Adds minimal-page locking concurrency, Forward Recovery for crash-consistency, and a swap-reduction heuristic; switch-over to a B+-tree. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
