Indexing large updatable datasets in multi-version database management systems

Database Management Systems (DBMS) need to handle large updatable datasets in on-line transaction processing (OLTP) workloads. Most modern DBMS provide snapshots of data in multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) transaction management scheme. Each transaction operates on a snapshot of the database, which is calculated from a set of tuple versions. High parallelism and resource-efficient append-only data placement on secondary storage is enabled. One major issue in indexing tuple versions on modern hardware technologies is the high write amplification for tree-indexes.
