GCP Big Table – main facts:
Is the basis of many google products
Object storage system
Does not offer indexes except for a single range index you can use
Is the basis for Hadoop big data system
You pay for storage separately
You pay for min 3 nodes and can expand as you need
Nodes are needed just for read / write – not for storage
Support for massive amounts of reads / writes but not locking or transaction support
Is not completely and highly available since sometimes data is not available as it is moved around
Great for big queries, less for short quick rapid ones
