15.14.1 Physical Structure of an Index
--------------------------------------
All indexes in `InnoDB' are B-trees where the index records are stored
in the leaf pages of the tree. The default size of an index page is
16KB. When new records are inserted, `InnoDB' tries to leave 1/16 of
the page free for future insertions and updates of the index records.
If index records are inserted in a sequential order (ascending or
descending), the resulting index pages will be about 15/16 full. If
records are inserted in a random order, the pages will be from 1/2 to
15/16 full. If the fillfactor of an index page drops below 1/2,
`InnoDB' tries to contract the index tree to free the page.
