Column Family Store

Data System Architecture

About

Column Family Stores are NoSql store that clusters the data by a set of key columns.

The data is then partitioned / distributed across multiple machines according to the key columns.

Storage is sparse since only columns that exist are stored in rows.

Column Family vs Column Store

A column family store partitions the rows by a set of columns while a column store partitions the data by column.
