"The Bigtable Project by Google"

In his former life, Wilson used to be an associate professor at the University of Utah. In 2004 he joined Google, and has been working on the Bigtable project for the last 3 years. Bigtable is a large-scale distributed storage system built by Google, and is used to store the data a number of Google products. In this talk we will provide an overview of Bigtable's data model and describe its implementation structure. Readers interested in more details can find them in our paper published at the OSDI conference in November 2006.
