That's about it! It's like a B+Tree in that the data resides in the leaves (well, and in the buffers), except that the fanout is a lot lower because we save room in the internal nodes for the buffers.

That's happily not how fractal trees work, at all. We have a few talks online describing how they work. Zardosht has one here http://vimeo.com/m/26471692 . I thought Bradley had a more detailed one at MIT but I can't find it right now. (E

This will be obvious, but I work at Tokutek. > When you have so many writes that sharding isn't enough. TokuDB does indexed insertions very fast. [1] We've even plugged ourselves in underneath MongoDB (just for fun) and we beat them to

As a reference, Firefox 9 is the version in the packages repo for FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE and it's probably the same for a fair number of other oses that peg versions on release.

For the moment, I can say that MySQL has a nicely defined storage engine API which is why we release that, and that if you need something lower-level, please come talk to us because that's not the only thing we develop. However, part of the

In terms of just the expression, yes, you just count the largest term. In cases where you count more closely, it's either in the constant (quicksort vs mergesort) or in terms of removing randomness or amortization.

Yes, you should. It is not anyone's job to cure you of your misconceptions. "Prove it!" are the two most ignorant and wasteful words we have. When someone actually involved with a situation tries to assuage your irrational fears anyway, and
