As volume of data is increasing on websites and also have to address compulsion of being accessed fast with that amount of data there need is arising of storing that data over more than a single computer. And solution to this problem is coming up as in form of storing that data across multiple computers instead of only one. .

However as alternative to sharding data on multiple computers, Twitter has come with idea of developed framework that can be used on league with custom building data-store systems using untested open source alternatives and then sharing that code with the public. From a number of data-store building experiences, Twitter has “extracted Gizzard, a Scala framework that makes it easy to create custom fault-tolerant, distributed databases. “Rowz” is example of that type of data house. The full code for Gizzard is also available in the market. Gizzard is a middleware networking service that handles partitioning through a forwarding table, supports migration and prosecutes “eventual consistency.”

By this way smaller companies would able to handle and deal with their data in effective manner that exits in large amounts of quantity.
