Binary Tree Organization

K Data PointerLeft PointerRight

Heap and sorted files - useful for static files Binary tree organization:

efficient inserting /deleting records uses binary search algorithm

Memory structure for a binary tree node:

Memory structure for a binary tree file: collection of nodes; root pointer list of empty nodes (linked by PointerLeft)

Inserting / Removing Records Insert a record:

detect the position of the record store new record in a free node link the node its parent

Remove a record: search for the record 3 cases:

• no children: parent’s pointer= NULL• 1 child: attach child to parent• 2 children: replace with the closest neighbor value

add node to empty nodes list

Optimal vs. Balanced Binary Trees

Drawback: searching time depends on inserting order

Optimal tree leaves are positioned on at most 2 levels maintenance is difficult / time consuming

Balanced tree for each node the difference between its sub-trees heights is 0, 1 or –1 (tree height: length of the longest path from root to leaves) lower number of operations for maintenance 6 distinct cases when a tree become unbalanced after insertion

Range Searches ``Find all students with grade > 8.0’’

If data is in sorted file, do binary search to find first such student, then scan to find others. Cost of binary search can be quite high.

Simple idea: Create an `index’ file.

Database Management Systems 13

Comments on ISAM File creation: Leaf (data) pages allocated sequentially, sorted by search key; then index pages allocated, then space for overflow pages. Index entries: <search key value, page id>; they `direct’ search for data entries, which are in leaf pages. Search: Start at root; use key comparisons to go to leaf. Cost log F

N ; F = number of entries/index pg, N = number of leaf pgs Insert: Find leaf data entry belongs to, and put it there. Delete: Find and remove from leaf; if empty overflow page, de-allocate.

Advantages & Disadvantages of ISAM Can get out of balance - with lots of inserts & deletes (resulting in non-uniform search time) Overflow records may not be sorted (they could be - they’re usually not) Faster insert & delete (no tree balancing…no I/Os for nodes in the tree) Better concurrent access (tree nodes are never locked)

Suitable only for files that aren’t expected to change much.

B – Trees Organization Files Most popular organization of indexes in DB “B” – stand for “balanced” or “broad” B–Tree – ordered tree; each node has several sub-trees A node contains keys and pointers to its sub-trees Paths from root to leaves have the same length

B-Tree Properties B-Tree of order m:

If is not a leaf, the root has at least 2 sub-trees Each internal node has at least [m/2] sub-trees (except root) Each internal node has at most m sub-trees All leaves are on the same level A node with p sub-trees contains p-1 ordered key values (K1, K2, … Kp)

Inserting Records in B-Trees Insertion steps:

find proper location (node in which the key should be inserted) insert new key perform balance procedure if there is an overflow

Algorithm of the Insertion Procedure1. Find the insertion point2. Insert the key3. If the node is full:

A) Create a new node and put in the keys bigger than the median keyB) Insert the median key into the parent nodeC) The right side of the key should reference the new node, the left side references the old one that has the smaller elements

4. If the parent node is full:A) If the parent node is a root then create a new rootB) Repeat step 3 with the parent node

Deleting Records from B-Trees Deletion steps:

find node which contains the key should be deleted if is internal node, transfer a key from leaves if there is an underflow, perform redistribution or concatenation

Algorithm of the Deletion Procedure1. Search for the key to be removedIf the key is located into an internal node:- replace it with its bigger neighbor

(i.e. with the leftmost key of the leftmost leaf of its right tree )

B+-Trees Combination between B-Tree and ISAM:

Search begins at root, and key comparisons direct it to a leaf In a B+-Tree all pointers to data records exist only at the leaf-level nodes

A B+-Tree can have less levels (or higher capacity of search values) than the corresponding B-tree

B+-Trees in Practice

Typical order: 200. Typical fill-factor: 67%. Average fan-out (no. of entries/index pg) = 133

Typical capacities: Height 4: 1334 = 312,900,700 records Height 3: 1333 = 2,352,637 records

Can often hold top levels in buffer pool: Level 1 = 1 page = 8 Kbytes Level 2 = 133 pages = 1 Mbyte Level 3 = 17,689 pages = 133 MBytes

Database Management Systems 37

Advantages & Disadvantages of B+ Trees Index stays balanced…therefore uniform search time Rarely more than 3 - 5 levels…the system often maintains the top levels in memory … thus you can search for a record in 2 or 3 I/Os. Occupancy normally about 67% (thus 150% as much space as you need for the data records) Most widely used index in database management systems because of its versatility. One of the most optimized components of a DBMS. B+ trees can be used for a clustered, sparse index (if the data is sorted) or for an un-clustered, dense index (if not).

Database Management Systems 38

Bulk Loading of a B+-Tree If we have a large collection of records, and we want to create a B+-Tree on some field, doing so by repeatedly inserting records is very slow. Bulk Loading can be done much more efficiently. Initialization: Sort all data entries, insert pointer to first (leaf) page in a new (root) page.

Database Management Systems 39

Bulk Loading Index entries for leaf pages always entered into right-most index page just above leaf level. When this fills up, it splits. (Split may go up right-most path to the root.)Much faster than repeated inserts, especially when one considers locking!

Summary of Bulk Loading

Option 1: multiple inserts. Slow. Does not give sequential storage of leaves.

Option 2: Bulk Loading Has advantages for concurrency control. Fewer I/Os during build. Leaves will be stored sequentially (and linked, of course). Can control “fill factor” on pages.

Database Management Systems 41

Prefix B+-Trees (Key Compression) Important to increase fan-out Key values in index entries only `direct traffic’; can often compress them.

E.g., If we have adjacent index entries with search key values Dan Yogurt, David Smith and Demy Moore, we can abbreviate David Smith to Dav. (The other keys can be compressed too ...)

• Is this correct? Not quite! What if there is a data entry Davey Jones? (Can only compress David Smith to Davi)•In general, while compressing, must leave each index entry greater than every key value (in any sub-tree) to its left.

Insert/delete must be modified accordingly.

B+-Tree order in practice

Order concept replaced by physical space criterion in practice (`at least half-full’).

Index pages can typically hold many more entries than leaf pages. Variable sized records and search keys mean different nodes will contain different numbers of entries. Even with fixed length fields, multiple records with the same search key value (duplicates) can lead to variable-sized data entries (if we use Alternative (3)).

Summary

Tree-structured indexes are ideal for range-searches, also good for equality searches. ISAM is a static structure.

Only leaf pages modified; overflow pages needed. Overflow chains can degrade performance unless size of data set and data distribution stay constant.

B+ tree is a dynamic structure. Inserts/deletes leave tree height-balanced; log F N cost. High fanout (F) means depth rarely more than 3 or 4. Almost always better than maintaining a sorted file.

Summary (cont.) Typically, 67% occupancy on average. Usually preferable to ISAM, modulo locking considerations; adjusts to growth gracefully. If data entries are data records, splits can change rids!

Key compression increases fan-out, reduces height. Bulk loading can be much faster than repeated inserts for creating a B+ tree on a large data set. Most widely used index in database management systems because of its versatility. One of the most optimized components of a DBMS.
