# 一.简单介绍

# 1.B-树历史

B 树(B-Tree)结构是一种高效存储和查询数据的方法,它的历史可以追溯到 1970 年代早期。B 树的发明人 Rudolf Bayer 和 Edward M. McCreight 分别发表了一篇论文介绍了 B 树。这篇论文是 1972 年发表于《ACM Transactions on Database Systems》中的,题目为"Organization and Maintenance of Large Ordered Indexes"。

这篇论文提出了一种能够高效地维护大型有序索引的方法,这种方法的主要思想是将每个节点扩展成多个子节点,以减少查找所需的次数。B 树结构非常适合应用于磁盘等大型存储器的高效操作,被广泛应用于关系数据库和文件系统中。

B 树结构有很多变种和升级版,例如 B+树,B*树和 SB 树等。这些变种和升级版本都基于 B 树的核心思想,通过调整 B 树的参数和结构,提高了 B 树在不同场景下的性能表现。

总的来说,B 树结构是一个非常重要的数据结构,为高效存储和查询大量数据提供了可靠的方法。它的历史可以追溯到上个世纪 70 年代,而且在今天仍然被广泛应用于各种场景。

# 2.B 的含义

B-树的名称是由其发明者 Rudolf Bayer 提出的。Bayer 和 McCreight 从未解释 B 代表什么,人们提出了许多可能的解释,比如 Boeing、balanced、between、broad、bushy 和 Bayer 等。但 McCreight 表示,越是思考 B-trees 中的 B 代表什么,就越能更好地理解 B-trees

# 3.特性

一棵 B-树具有以下性质

特性 1:每个节点 x 具有

  • 属性 n,表示节点 x 中 key 的个数
  • 属性 leaf,表示节点是否是叶子节点
  • 节点 key 可以有多个,以升序存储

特性 2:每个非叶子节点中的孩子数是 n + 1、叶子节点没有孩子

特性 3:最小度数 t(节点的孩子数称为度)和节点中键数量的关系如下:

最小度数 t 键数量范围
2 1 ~ 3
3 2 ~ 5
4 3 ~ 7
... ...
n (n-1) ~ (2n-1)

其中,当节点中键数量达到其最大值时,即 3、5、7 ... 2n-1,需要分裂

特性 4:叶子节点的深度都相同

问:

B-树为什么有最小度数的限制?

答:

B 树中有最小度数的限制是为了保证 B 树的平衡特性。

在 B 树中,每个节点都可以有多个子节点,这使得 B 树可以存储大量的键值,但也带来了一些问题。如果节点的子节点数量太少,那么就可能导致 B 树的高度过高,从而降低了 B 树的效率。此外,如果节点的子节点数量太多,那么就可能导致节点的搜索、插入和删除操作变得复杂和低效。

最小度数的限制通过限制节点的子节点数量,来平衡这些问题。在 B 树中,每个节点的子节点数量都必须在一定的范围内,即 t 到 2t 之间(其中 t 为最小度数)

# 4.AVL 树高?

100 万的数据使用 avl 树来存储,树高是多少?

AVL 树是一种自平衡二叉搜索树,它的树高(或称为高度)受到节点插入和删除操作的影响,保持在 O(log n) 的水平。在这里,"n" 表示树中节点的数量。

如果你有 100 万个数据要存储在 AVL 树中,树的高度应该接近于 log2(1000000)。计算一下:

log2(1000000) ≈ 19.93

所以,树的高度大约为 20 层(向上取整)。这意味着在 AVL 树中查找、插入和删除操作的时间复杂度通常都在 O(log n) 的范围内,其中 n 是树中的节点数。因此,AVL 树在维护平衡方面非常高效,适合用于需要高效查找和插入的数据结构。

# 5.B 树树高?

100 万的数据,如果存储到 B-树(最小度数是 500),那么树高大约是多少?

B-树的高度与其最小度数以及存储的关键字数量有关。最小度数表示每个节点最少有多少个子节点。在一个典型的 B-树中,树的高度通常较低,因为它能够容纳更多的关键字在每个节点中。

如果你有 100 万个数据要存储在一个 B-树中,而该 B-树的最小度数为 500,那么我们可以计算大致的树高:

首先,根节点至少包含一个子节点和两个关键字(除非它是叶子节点),然后每个内部节点至少包含 500 个子节点和 501 个关键字。我们可以使用以下方式计算树的高度:

树的高度 = log_500(1000000)
1

使用换底公式,我们可以将其转换为常用的对数底数,如自然对数或以 2 为底的对数。在这里,我们使用以 2 为底的对数:

树的高度  log2(1000000) / log2(500)
1

计算一下:

树的高度  19.93 / 8.97  2.22
1

所以,如果将 100 万个数据存储在一个 B-树中,而最小度数为 500,那么树的高度大约是 2.22,但由于树的高度是整数,所以实际树的高度将会是 3。这意味着 B-树的高度较低,使得查找和插入等操作非常高效,适合用于大规模数据的存储和检索。

# 二.常见方法

# 1.定义节点

static class Node {
    boolean leaf = true;
    int keyNumber;
    int t;
    int[] keys;
    Node[] children;

    public Node(int t) {
        this.t = t;
        this.keys = new int[2 * t - 1];
        this.children = new Node[2 * t];
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return Arrays.toString(Arrays.copyOfRange(keys, 0, keyNumber));
    }
}

  • leaf 表示是否为叶子节点
  • keyNumber 为 keys 中有效 key 数目
  • t 为最小度数,它决定了节点中 key 的最小、最大数目,分别是 t-1 和 2t-1
  • keys 存储此节点的 key
  • children 存储此节点的 child
  • toString 只是为了方便调试和测试,非必须

实际 keys 应当改为 entries 以便同时保存 key 和 value,刚开始简化实现

# 2.多路查找

为上面节点类添加 get 方法

Node get(int key) {
    int i = 0;
    while (i < keyNumber && keys[i] < key) {
        i++;
    }
    if (i < keyNumber && keys[i] == key) {
        return this;
    }
    if (leaf) {
        return null;
    }
    return children[i].get(key);
}

# 3.插入 key 和 child

为上面节点类添加 insertKey 和 insertChild 方法

void insertKey(int key, int index) {
    System.arraycopy(keys, index, keys, index + 1, keyNumber - index);
    keys[index] = key;
    keyNumber++;
}

void insertChild(Node child, int index) {
    System.arraycopy(children, index, children, index + 1, keyNumber - index);
    children[index] = child;
}

作用是向 keys 数组或 children 数组指定 index 处插入新数据,注意

  • 由于使用了静态数组,并且不会在新增或删除时改变它的大小,因此需要额外的 keyNumber 来指定数组内有效 key 的数目
    • 插入时 keyNumber++
    • 删除时减少 keyNumber 的值即可
  • children 不会单独维护数目,它比 keys 多一个
  • 如果这两个方法同时调用,注意它们的先后顺序,insertChild 后调用,因为它计算复制元素个数时用到了 keyNumber

# 4.定义树

public class BTree {
    final int t;
    final int MIN_KEY_NUMBER;
    final int MAX_KEY_NUMBER;
    Node root;

    public BTree() {
        this(2);
    }

    public BTree(int t) {
        this.t = t;
        MIN_KEY_NUMBER = t - 1;
        MAX_KEY_NUMBER = 2 * t - 1;
        root = new Node(t);
    }

# 5.插入

public void put(int key) {
    doPut(null, 0, root, key);
}

private void doPut(Node parent, int index, Node node, int key) {
    int i = 0;
    while (i < node.keyNumber && node.keys[i] < key) {
        i++;
    }
    if (i < node.keyNumber && node.keys[i] == key) {
        return;
    }
    if (node.leaf) {
        node.insertKey(key, i);
    } else {
        doPut(node, i, node.children[i], key);
    }
    if (isFull(node)) {
        split(parent, index, node);
    }

  • 首先查找本节点中的插入位置 i,如果没有空位(key 被找到),应该走更新的逻辑,目前什么没做
  • 接下来分两种情况
    • 如果节点是叶子节点,可以直接插入了
    • 如果节点是非叶子节点,需要继续在 children[i] 处继续递归插入
  • 无论哪种情况,插入完成后都可能超过节点 keys 数目限制,此时应当执行节点分裂
    • 参数中的 parent 和 index 都是给分裂方法用的,代表当前节点父节点,和分裂节点是第几个孩子

判断依据为:

boolean isFull(Node node) {
    return node.keyNumber == MAX_KEY_NUMBER;
}

# 三.核心方法

# 1.分裂

void split(Node parent, int index , Node left) {
    if (parent == null) {
        Node newRoot = new Node(this.t);
        newRoot.leaf = false;
        newRoot.insertChild(root, 0);
        root = newRoot;
        parent = newRoot;
    }
    Node right = new Node(this.t);
    right.leaf = left.leaf;
    right.keyNumber = t - 1;
    System.arraycopy(left.keys, t, right.keys, 0, t - 1);
    if (!left.leaf) {
        System.arraycopy(left.children, t, right.children, 0, t);
    }
    left.keyNumber = t - 1;
    int mid = left.keys[t - 1];
    parent.insertKey(mid, index);
    parent.insertChild(right, index + 1);

分两种情况:

  • 如果 parent == null 表示要分裂的是根节点,此时需要创建新根,原来的根节点作为新根的 0 孩子
  • 否则
    • 创建 right 节点(分裂后大于当前 left 节点的),把 t 以后的 key 和 child 都拷贝过去
    • t-1 处的 key 插入到 parent 的 index 处,index 指 left 作为孩子时的索引
    • right 节点作为 parent 的孩子插入到 index + 1 处

# 2.删除

case 1:当前节点是叶子节点,没找到

case 2:当前节点是叶子节点,找到了

case 3:当前节点是非叶子节点,没找到

case 4:当前节点是非叶子节点,找到了

case 5:删除后 key 数目 < 下限(不平衡)

case 6:根节点

# 4.B-树与 2-3 树、2-3-4 树的关系

可以这样总结它们之间的关系:

  1. 2-3 树是最小度数为 2 的 B 树,其中每个节点可以包含 2 个或 3 个子节点。
  2. 2-3-4 树是最小度数为 2 的 B 树的一种特殊情况,其中每个节点可以包含 2 个、3 个或 4 个子节点。
  3. B 树是一种更加一般化的平衡树,可以适应不同的应用场景,其节点可以包含任意数量的键值,节点的度数取决于最小度数 t 的设定。
