A Short History of the BTree (2011)
- rdtsc 11y agoCouchDB uses B-trees in an interesting append-only fashion: http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/btree.html http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/btree.html That makes it work well for reliability and data durability. I have never had it corrupt data over the years. Can always pull the plug on the server (or kill -9 the process) knowing it will recover to a consistent state, or you can also take filesystem snapshot at any time and get a constent database image (I've used that for backups).
- ameida 11y agoVery interesting and links are gems.
- jupp0r 11y agoGood article. As a side note: "and you know how high-performing and scalable Perforce servers are" Sure, their performance is only surpassed by that of the perforce client.
