| Abstract : | I argue against trying to solve the problem of clustering objects into disk pages. Instead, I propose that objects be fetched in groups that may be specific to an application or user, and that can be computed at fetch time. I briefly describe crystals, which serve to record such groups statically. Finally, I speculate that object fetching may be particularly relevant for providing services to very small machines with limited memory, such as personal digital assistants., |
