BigTable: A System for Distributed Structured Storage
BigTable is a system for storing and managing very large amounts of structured data. The system is designed to manage several petabytes of data distributed across thousands of machines, with very high update and read request rates coming from thousands of simultaneous clients. In this talk, Jeff Dean, Google, discusses the basic design of BigTable and its implementation, provides some performance measurements, and outlines some current applications of the system. He also touches on Google's future goals and directions for the system.
