Abstract

Systems and methods associated with latch-free searching are disclosed. One example method includes receiving a key identifying data to be retrieved from a tree-based data structure. The method also includes performing a concurrent, latch-free search of the tree-based data structure until a leaf node is reached. The method also includes validating the leaf node. The method also includes retreading a portion of the search if the leaf node fails validation.
