Latch-free, log-structured storage for multiple access methods

Abstract

A data manager may include a data opaque interface configured to provide, to an arbitrarily selected page-oriented access method, interface access to page data storage that includes latch-free access to the page data storage. In another aspect, a swap operation may be initiated, of a portion of a first page in cache layer storage to a location in secondary storage, based on initiating a prepending of a partial swap delta record to a page state associated with the first page, the partial swap delta record including a main memory address indicating a storage location of a flush delta record that indicates a location in secondary storage of a missing part of the first page. In another aspect, a page manager may initiate a flush operation of a first page in cache layer storage to a location in secondary storage, based on atomic operations with flush delta records.
