Main Memory Database Systems
This article provides an overview of recent developments in main-memory database systems. With growing memory sizes and memory prices dropping by a factor of 10 every 5 years, data having a "primary home" in memory is now a reality. Main-memory databases eschew many of the traditional architectural pillars of relational database systems that optimized for disk-resident data. The result of these memory-optimized designs are systems that feature several innovative approaches to fundamental issues (e.g., concurrency control, query processing) that achieve orders of magnitude performance improvements over traditional designs. Our survey covers five main issues and architectural choices that need to be made when building a high performance main-memory optimized database: data organization and storage, indexing, concurrency control, durability and recovery techniques, and query processing and compilation. We focus our survey on four commercial and research systems: H-Store/VoltDB, Hekaton, HyPer, and SAP HANA. These systems are diverse in their design choices and form a representative sample of the state of the art in main-memory database systems. We also cover other commercial and academic systems, along with current and future research trends.

With the availability of very large, relatively inexpensive main memories, it is becoming possible to keep large databases resident in main memory. This paper considers the changes necessary to permit a relational database system to take advantage of large amounts of main memory. The authors evaluate AVL vs. B+- tree access methods for main memory databases, hash-based query processing strategies vs. sort-merge, and study recovery issues when most or all of the database fits in main memory. As expected, B+- trees are the preferred storage mechanism unless more than 80-90% of the database fits in main memory. A somewhat surprising result is that hash based query processing strategies are advantageous for large memory situations. Keywords: Access; Algorithms. (Author).
