I have broad understanding of relational databases and how they interact with SQL. But im having problems imaging the BigTable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and other such systems. Is there somewhere, i can learn about this and "get it". Any help is appreciated.

Basically, NoSQL solutions don't conform to the SQL standard and/or relax some of the ACID characteristics in exchange for scalability. Somewhat relevant: Stewart Smith: Dropping ACID: Eating Data in a Web 2.0 Cloud World - OSDC 2011 - YouTube MongoDB is web scale
