InfoQ: Hypertable Lead Discusses Hadoop and Distributed Databases

InfoQ: Hypertable Lead Discusses Hadoop and Distributed Databases: "Databases have been gathering a significant amount of buzz lately. IBM recently invested in EnerpriseDB which supports a Cloud edition running on Amazon EC2. Amazon released their own cloud database late last year. Google's BigTable has also been studied by the community even though it is not open source. Continuing along these lines two open source projects, HBase and Hypertable, have leveraged the open source Map/Reduce platform Hadoop to provide Big Table inspired scalable database implementations. InfoQ sat down with Doug Judd, Principal Search Architect at Zvents, Inc. and Hypertable project founder, to discuss their implementation."
