Original Abstract Submitted
a processing system dynamically adjusts the size of root nodes in hierarchical data structures, such as b+ trees. upon creation, a root node has a predefined initial size. when a request is received to insert a new record, a determination is made as to whether the size of the root node has reached a predefined maximum size. if the root node has not reached the predefined maximum size, the size of the root node is increased to accommodate the new record and the new record is added to the root node. if the root node has reached the predefined maximum size, one or more new child nodes are created, and records are moved from the root node to the new child nodes. the size of the root node is then reduced to a predefined minimum size.
