Cassandra 0.7 Can Pack 2 Billion Columns Into a Row

[sl4shd0t]

angry tapir writes "The cadre of volunteer developers behind the Cassandra distributed database have released the latest version of their open source software, able to hold up to 2 billion columns per row. The newly installed Large Row Support feature of Cassandra version 0.7 allows the database to hold up to 2 billion columns per row. Previous versions had no set upper limit, though the maximum amount of material that could be held in a single row was approximately 2GB. This upper limit has been eliminated."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fit.slashdot.org%2Fstory% 2F11%2F01%2F17%2F0046248%2FCassandra-07-Can-Pack-2-Billion-Columns-Into-a-Row%3Ffrom%3Dfb) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Cassandra+0.7+Can+Pack+2+Billion+Colum ns+Into+a+Row%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FfkNi4C)
