Halo: A Hybrid PMem-DRAM Persistent Hash Index with Fast Recovery

Halo is a hybrid PMem-DRAM persistent hash index with fast recovery featuring a specifically designed volatile index and log-structured persistent storage layout. In order to suppress write amplification caused by memory allocators and to facilitate recovery, we propose Halloc, a highly-efficient memory manager for Halo. In addition, we pro- pose mechanisms such as batched writes, prefetching for hybrid reads, and reactive snapshot to further optimize performance.
