FirewaterDocs
From Eigenpedia
Firewater is an open source scaleout RDBMS based on column store technology. It allows a cluster of commodity servers or virtualized cloud nodes to be used for fast response times on SQL and OLAP queries over massive datasets.
Firewater is being developed as an Eigenbase extension project, reusing much of the technology from LucidDB.
