Log Structured Merge Trees are superior in write volume and scaling B+ trees higher. LSMs are part of the sauce of Cassandra and (I believe) DynamoDB for horizontal scaling.

RocksDB is a single node very efficient (better than Cassandra's in the 2.x/3.x releases, not sure about now) single node LSM implementation.
