What Is Cloudata?

Cloudata is an open source distributed database that supports column-oriented store modeled after Google's Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data. It provides Bigtable-like capabilities and a fault-tolerant way of storing large quantities data.

Cloudata is designed to manage the storage and processing of data on a large cluster of commodity servers. It uses the HDFS(Hadoop Distributed File System) to store data files, and then it can serve as the input and output for MapReduce jobs run in Hadoop.

Additionally, Cloudata is designed so that node failures are automatically handled by the framework.
