Comments on: Google’s Bigtable Distributed Storage System, Pt.

I did what would make you light your hair on fire and then try to put it out with an icepick. I went through the academic paper twice and cobble a decent understanding of what it's about. But this summary, apart from being far more readable, hangs the different aspects of Bigtable on the right pegs. Thanks! This article was super-helpful.
