Abstract
A log-structured data store may implement efficient garbage collection. Log records may be maintained in data blocks according to a log record sequence. Based, at least in part, on a log reclamation point, the log records may be evaluated to identify data blocks to reclaim that have log records in the log sequence prior to the log reclamation point. New versions of data pages updated by log records in the identified data blocks may be generated and stored in base page storage for the log structured data store. The identified data blocks may then be reclaimed for storing new data.
