Abstract
Different types of index structures are used for a replica group of a database. A leader node of a replica group performs receives updates to a copy of the database using a first type of index structure. A follower node performs updates received from the leader node as a log of updates to a copy of the database in an external storage system when a size of the received updates exceeds a threshold. The follower node performs requests to read data from the database using the copy in the external storage.
