CTO 101 — S01: Database — Chap03: Wide Column Stores

Wide column stores or extensible record stores, can store dynamic column for every row of data. This can be viewed as a key-value store with the extra relation between key-values in a record. Wide column stores are just like Document stores schema-free but the implementation is completely different.
