Well, it's an interesting survey. I'm surprised at how much space it devoted to illustrating B-trees in the context of RDBMSs as a lot of the concepts there really had no specific connection to B-trees.
So much space devoted to logging, locking and latches. All heavily used in the industry up till the last decade. All obsolete now. Not a single mention of immutable/persistent B-trees. Were there really no academic papers on the topic written in a time covered by this survey?
