Abstract

As the B-tree index could be a peformance bottleneck in database systems, concurrent B-tree algorithms have been intensively studied to improve concurrency of B-tree accesses in the literature. In this paper we propose a new concurrent B+ -tree algorithm for high concurrency and an eficient tree restructuring method. Because the proposed method of tree restructuring always preserves a semantic consistency of the B+ -tree, a key searcher need not require any lock for a range search as well as a single-key search. To maintain correctly the linkfields constructed at the leaf level, we make each leaf node contain two key-range indicators, and develop a tree restructuring method using these key-range indicators.
