Abstract: A buffer tree structure includes, at each internal node, a buffer having a compacted portion and an uncompacted portion. Insertion of data elements to the buffer tree can occur units called packets. A packet is initially stored in the uncompacted portion of a receiving node's buffer. When a compaction trigger condition exists, packet compaction is performed including a data element compaction operation. A buffer-emptying (flush) operation pushes the compacted packets to children nodes.

Abstract: A Bε-tree associated with a file system on a storage volume includes a hierarchy of nodes. Each node includes a buffer portion that can be characterized by a fixed maximum allowable size to store key-value pairs as messages in the buffer. Messages can be initially buffered in the root node of the Bε-tree, and flushed to descendent children from the root node. Messages stored in the buffers can be indexed using a B+-tree data structure. As the B+-tree data structure in a buffer grows (due to receiving flushed messages) and shrinks (due to messages being flushed), disk blocks can be allocated from the storage volume to increase the actual size of the buffer and deallocated from the buffer to reduce the actual size of the buffer.

Abstract: A Bε-tree associated with a file system on a storage volume includes a hierarchy of nodes. Each node includes a buffer portion to store key-value pairs as messages in the buffer. Each node can be characterized by having a maximum allowable size that is periodically updated at run time. The buffers in the nodes of the Bε-tree are therefore characterized by having a maximum allowed size that can vary over time.

Abstract: A buffer tree structure includes, at each internal node, a buffer having a compacted portion and an uncompacted portion. Insertion of data elements to the buffer tree can occur units called packets. A packet is initially stored in the uncompacted portion of a receiving node's buffer. After a time, packets in the uncompacted portion of a buffer are combined into compacted packets in the compacted portion of the buffer. A buffer-emptying (flush) operation pushes the compacted packets to children nodes.
