Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes the compaction techniques and problems and compares them to those of garbage collection. By studying how certain garbage collection problems are solved in the context of log compaction, it tries to suggest new paths of research for garbage collection in the domains of distribution, parallelisation and fault-tolerance.
