Reboot-based recovery is a simple but powerful method to recover applications from failures and unstable states. Reboot-based recovery faces a challenge to apply it to a new type of applications, in-memory databases (DBs). Unlike legacy applications, since rebooting in-memory DBs loses memory objects including key-value pairs and DB blocks, it is required to restore them, causing severe performance degradation after the reboot. This paper presents an approach that allows us to perform reboot-based recovery of in-memory DBs with lower performance degradation. Our key insight is to decouple data content objects from all the memory objects. Our approach treats data items as data content objects, preserves data content objects on memory across reboots, and enforces restarted in-memory DBs to attach them. To show the effectiveness of our approach, we elaborate the idea into two real-world DBs, MyRocks and memcached. The prototypes successfully mitigate performance degradation after their reboot-based recovery.
