Hypertable: Doug Judd
Zvents, a local events search site, needed a massively scalable database system -- think 1000 nodes. The solution? A design based on Google's BigTable, which the company is now releasing as the open source project Hypertable. Software architect Doug Judd walks us through a short code example to learn the basics of Hypertable, and discusses the system's goals, strengths, and limitations. And, since Hypertable is starting from the ground up, we'll look at the state of the art in project infrastructure, including git for revision control, cmake for build, and Google Code for issue tracking.
