Abstract
A concurrency control method for a high dimensional index structure that provides efficient concurrency control method for a high dimensional index structure, which performs reinsertion of certain objects to cope with node overflow. The concurrency controlled searching method includes the following steps. First, an entry is obtained from a queue storing the root node and an object relating to the entry is selected. Second, whether a logic sequence number (LSN) of a lower level node is larger than an expected LSN stored in the upper node is determined. Third, the process moves to a neighbor node of the lower level node if the LSN is bigger than an expected LSN stored in the upper node in the second step, selects a relating object, and performs from the second step repeatedly. Fourth, an object of a node of a level corresponding to the lower level node in a reinsertion table is selected when a search on an index tree is finished if the LSN is not bigger than the expected LSN stored in the upper node in the second step.
