Hi Hugo, Thanks for your reply. I have been studying concurrency lately, so I would love to work in that area. Specifically, I would love to work on 'Btree lock contention'. I have some ideas for it, specifically I would like to see if we can reduce the lock granularity or spread the threads blocking over time, or maybe use something like combining trees. Please let me know if that is ok.
