A Comparative Study of Secondary Indexing Techniques in LSM-based NoSQL Databases
Summary: Taxonomy of NoSQL secondary indexes: Embedded vs Stand-alone. LevelDB++ implements 5 index types atop LevelDB; empirical study shows no single winner; embedded indexes boost write throughput and space efficiency, stand-alone indexes speed up queries; workload-driven guideline.
