We introduce a new approach Camal, which boasts the following features: (1) ML-Aided: Camal is the first attempt to apply active learning to tune LSM-tree based key-value stores. The learning process is coupled with traditional cost models to improve the training process; (2) Decoupled Active Learning: backed by rigorous analysis, Camal adopts active learning paradigm based on a decoupled tuning of each parameter, which further accelerates the learning process; (3) Easy Extrapolation: Camal adopts an effective mechanism to incrementally update the model with the growth of the data size; (4) Dynamic Mode: Camal is able to tune LSM-tree online under dynamically changing workloads; (5) Significant System Improvement: By integrating Camal into a full system RocksDB, the system performance improves by 28% on average and up to 8x compared to a state-of-the-art RocksDB design.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.15130v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.15130v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"camal-optimizing-lsm-trees-via-active","repo_url":"https://github.com/NTU-Siqiang-Group/CAMAL","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"active-learning","task_name":"Active Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
