An Introduction to Bε-trees and Write-Optimization

Explore the concept of Bε-trees and write-optimization in this 46-minute conference talk presented by Ori Bernstein at PapersWeLove NYC. Delve into the properties and uses of Bε-trees, a write-optimized data structure similar to B-trees. Learn how these structures work and discover why this paper inspired Bernstein to create his own file system. Gain insights into the practical applications of Bε-trees and their potential impact on data management and storage systems. Understand the key differences between Bε-trees and traditional B-trees, and how write-optimization can improve performance in various scenarios.
