To complain about contention under multithreaded workloads seems to be missing the point. At the point that multithreaded workloads are becoming a problem, the ingestion rate is huge (hundreds of thousands of insertions per second). For an in-memory database, that may not seem like much, but for a disk-resident database, that's a lot. I don't know what a "hybrid compacting data structure/B+ tree" is. Is there somewhere I can read about how you get the best performance in practice with it?
