Introduction

• NoSQL database ( Hence different than Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner and BigQuery).
• Used for OLAP applications( Like BigQuery) which makes is it different than OLTP databases( Cloud SQL and Cloud Spanner).
• For very large & sparse dataset .
• Very low latencies for both read and write operation(typically in milliseconds).
• Works best with naturally ordered data ( having sequential ordering & only one column can be row key).
• Supports largest data size (petabytes data) with milliseconds of read/write operation…
