....the expected lifetimes for PCache nodes, TreeIDX nodes and objects are different. By writing data of only one category into a particular segment when possible, the cleaning cost can be reduced. A more general discussion about cleaning techniques for log structured storage systems can be found in [1, 10]. 4.7 Query Processing Queries are essentially lookup operations, either on single objects, or on a set of objects. In a temporal ODB, queries can also be performed on time validity as well as values. The query processing can be considered as a mapping from a query into a set of result objects. ....

....Note the small change in head switch time relative to other characteristics. these facts create a complex storage management problem. Systems can address this problem with combinations of pre allocation heuristics [4, 18] on line reallocation actions [23, 33, 41] and idle time reorganization [2, 24]. There is no straightforward solution and the difficulty grows with the target disk request size, because more related data must be clustered. 2.2 Disk characteristics Modern storage protocols, such as SCSI and IDE ATA, expose storage capacity as a linear array of fixed sized blocks (Figure ....

....manager can be modified to handle partially valid and partially dirty blocks. Like any clustering storage system, a traxtent based system must address aging and fragmentation and the standard techniques apply: pre allocation [4, 18] online reallocation [23, 33, 41] and off line reorganization [2, 24]. For example, when a system determines that a large file is being written, it may be useful to reserve (preallocate) entire traxtents even when writing less than a traxtent worth of data. The same holds when grouping small files [15, 32] When the file system becomes aged and fragmented, on line ....

....block of data. This prevents fine grained modification of data in non volatile memory. In eNVy [17] copy on write and buffering were used to get around the long erase latency of flash RAM; this approach required extensive garbage collection similar to that used in log structured file systems [3,15]. NVRAM has long been used for recovery and file system reliability [2] again with the restrictions of small size and coarse grained write access. In such systems, NVRAM is used as a non volatile cache for disk, but data lives on disk. This design improves file system reliability by reducing ....

....low because most data in the cache disk are short lived and are quickly overwritten, therefore requiring no destaging at all. Moreover, many systems, such as those used in office engineering environments, have sufficient long idle periods between bursts of requests. For example, Blackwell et al. [10] found that 97 of all LFS cleaning could be done in the background on the most heavily loaded system they studied. Similarly, DCD destaging can be performed in the idle periods, therefore will not interfere with normal user operations at all. Since the cache in DCD is a disk with a capacity much ....

....the data to the disk in a log structured fashion. Thus, instead of writing new data in some free space on the disk, we continually append data to it until we reach the end of the disk, in which case we continue from the beginning. This approach has been widely used in log structured file systems [5, 17, 29, 38]. However, unlike previous implementations of log structured file systems, we use a user level log structured file management, which achieves the effectiveness of log structured file systems on top of commercial operating systems. Towards this end, we develop a file space management algorithm ....

....new log fragments. As in other log structured storage systems, Swarm reclaims this free space using a cleaner process that periodically traverses the log and moves live data out of stripes by appending them to the log, so that the space occupied by the stripe can be used to store a new stripe [3]. A block is cleaned by appending it to the log, changing its address and requiring the services that wrote it to update their metadata accordingly. When a block is cleaned, the cleaner notifies the service that created it that the block has moved. The notification contains the old and new ....
