What is Smoltable?

Smoltable is a tiny wide-column store heavily inspired by Google Bigtable. It is implemented in Rust and is based on a custom-written LSM storage engine, also written in Rust. It can be accessed through a JSON REST API, with potential plans for future embeddability.

Compatibility

Smoltable is not a replacement for Bigtable, nor is it wire-compatible with it. It is not distributed, but you probably could make it distributed. Then we would have Bigsmoltable. But it is a great, inexpensive way to learn about wide-column and single table data design.
