As the name suggests, writes are made to log files in appendonly mode. A comparison of logstructured merge lsm and fractal tree indexing.
Cassandra uses merkle tree and hbase uses lsm tree. To maintain such advantages, lsmtree relies on a background compaction operation to merge data records or collect garbages for housekeeping purposes. Segment continuous appending to the log file, can make file size big and eventually running out of disk space. Writeoptimized dictionaries wods1, such as logstructured merge trees lsmtrees 24 and b.
