Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for managing disjoint-or trees. One of the methods includes determining that a disjoint-or tree occupies more memory than a maximum memory limit. One or more elements of the disjoint-or tree are selected for removal. If a particular leaf element selected for removal has a parent element with a status indicator of complete, data of the particular leaf element is added to a compound leaf element, the compound leaf element being a child element of the parent element and having data associated with the particular leaf element and one or more other sibling leaf elements. The particular leaf element is then removed from the disjoint-or tree without propagating changes associated with removing the particular leaf element to all the ancestors of the particular leaf element.
