Google的数据管理项目

      今天读了Google的一篇论文《Data Management Projects at Google》。从中发现了一些有意思的描述。

 

  第一是关于 Knowledge Search

 

  Knowledge Search allows user to post questions and the matches experts to timely answer questions. The

 

distinguishing feature of this product compared to competing products is that it offers online question classfication,

 

related-question recommendation, and topic-sensitive expert matching. All of these feature are empowered by the

 

aforementioned machine-learning infrastructure.

 

  第二点是关于 Bigtable

 

         Bigtable can be viewed at a system level as a distributed, non-relational database; at the algorithmic level as a

 

highly distributed multi-level map; or at the implementation level as a variant of a distributed B-tree.
