After watchingthe video, it will be found that the msdn article showed in the first link hasmade a quite good summary in Chinese about what the Indian said.

My notes is in Evernote.

But, what’s my feeling is that, I’m just acknowledged these new features, while why I need them. Are they really good? Maybe I should go to learn the source of the problem: what’s the disadvantage of the conventional relational database; why we need NoSQL on earth. That’s the true method for learning a new theory.

 

And I am alsoacknowledged that the Azure table service is a type of key-value storage.

Then the question is: why the key-value storage is faster for big data? Hash? I’d like to know physical storage architect. Maybe the Windows Azure white paper cangive me the answer. Or other Nosql database document will show the answer.

And I also consider about using of the 3 replicas for parallel query.
