BigTable is not a motherfucking key/value store. It's a sorted tuplestore with built-in multidimensionality. Hypertable is a direct clone, HBase and Cassandra use the same style of API but have slightly different storage backends. Just because it isn't a SQL database doesn't mean it's non-relational or key/value.
