Abstract

Recently, column-oriented storage has become a progressive model for high-speed database systems because of its superior I/O performance. In this paper, we analysis traditional raw-oriented storage model and then propose a new column-aware storage management model using flash memory drive and assist drive to improve the effective performance of the high-speed column-oriented database system. Our storage management scheme called column-aware polarization improves the performance of update operation by dividing and compressing table columns into active-columns or inactive-columns, and balancing congested update operations using a assist drive in high workload periods. The results obtained from experimental tests show that our scheme improves the update throughput of column-oriented storage by 19 percent, and the response time by up to 49 percent.
