Decoding Database Complexity: A Journey from Text Files to LSM Trees and B-Trees
Too Long; Didn't Read
Explore the evolution of databases from basic text file storage to advanced data structures like LSM trees and B-trees. Witness the limitations of simple key-value stores and how hash indexes, SSTables, LSM trees, and B-trees address these challenges. Gain insights into the trade-offs between LSM trees and B-trees, including performance, write amplification, and disk space utilization. A comprehensive journey through the fascinating world of database internals.
