Wide-column, column-oriented and column-family databases belong to the NoSQL family of databases built to store and query massive amounts of data, aka BigData.
They are highly available and scalable, built to work in a distributed environment. Most of the wide-column databases do not support joins to scale linearly when it comes to read and write performance.
