Abstract

To properly handle concurrent accesses to documents by updates and queries in information retrieval (IR) systems, efforts are on to integrate IR features with database management system (DBMS ) features. However, initial research has revealed that DBMS features optimized for traditional databases, display degraded performance while handling text databases. Since efficiency is critical in IR systems, infrastructural extensions are necessary for several DBMS features, transaction support being one of them. This paper focuses on developing efficient transaction support for IR systems where updates and queries arrive dynamically, by exploiting the data characteristics of the indexes as well as of the queries and updates that access the indexes. Results of performance tests on a prototype system demonstrate the superior performance of our algorithms.
