It all started with a project i work on having a mysql database with 1mil+ records and 10GB of disk space on a rather slow  server, i failed to setup mysql distributed with federated storage engine and i was looking for a distributed database project and found hypertable. But i code PHP, so what should i do ? Hypertable offers PHP support only through a third party called thrift. It looks like thrift project (started by facebook and now an apache project ) can generate code to access hypertable into your programming language.  Here is my experience compiling thrift on FC 10
