Bigtable explores Google Distributed Data Storage System

Summary

Bigtable is a distributed structured data storage system designed to process massive data: Usually petabytes of data distributed on thousands of common servers. Many Google projects use bigtable to store data, including Web indexes, Google Earth, and Google finance. These applications have very different requirements for bigtable, regardless of the data volume (from URL to webpage to satellite image) response Speed (from backend batch processing to real-time data service ). Despite the wide variety of application requirements, bigtable successfully provides a flexible and high-performance solution for Google products. This paper describes the simple data model provided by bigtable. With this model, you can dynamically control the data distribution and format. We will also describe the design and implementation of bigtable.
