B+ Tree

Deletion

  • STEP 1 Find leaf L containing (key,pointer) entry to delete
  • STEP 2 Remove entry from L
    STEP 2a If L meets the "half full" criteria, then we're done.
    STEP 2b Otherwise, L has too few data entries.
  • STEP 3 If L's right sibling can spare an entry, then move smallest entry in right sibling to L
    STEP 3a Else, if L's left sibling can spare an entry then move largest entry in left sibling to L
    STEP 3b Else, merge L and a sibling
  • STEP 4 If merging, then recursively deletes the entry (pointing toL or sibling) from the parent.
  • STEP 5 Merge could propagate to root, decreasing height
