Hypertable - A high performance, scalable, distributed storage and processing system for structured

Hypertable is based on Google's Bigtable Design, which is a proven scalable design that powers hundreds of Google services. Many of the current scalable NoSQL database offerings are based on a hash table design which means that the data they manage is not kept physically ordered. Hypertable keeps data physically sorted by a primary key and it is well suited for Analytics.

This project is for the design and implementation of a high performance, scalable, distributed storage and processing system for structured and unstructured data. It is designed to manage the storage and processing of information on a large cluster of commodity servers, providing resilience to machine and component failures. Data is represented in the system as a multi-dimensional table of information. The data in a table can be transformed and organized at high speed by performing computations in parallel, pushing them to where the data is physically stored.
