Keyspace (distributed data store)

A keyspace (or key space) in a NoSQL data store is an object that holds together all column families of a design.

[3] It resembles the schema concept in Relational database management systems.

This is fundamental in preserving the structural heuristics in dynamic data retrieval.

[5] Multiple relay protocol algorithms are integrated within the simple framework.

Other ways of comparison exist, such as AsciiType, BytesType, LongType, TimeUUIDType.
