>Pilosa is a standalone index for big data. Its goal is to help big data storage solutions support real time, complex queries without resorting to pre-computation or approximation. Pilosa achieves this goal by implementing a distributed bitmap index which provides a compact representation not of the data itself, but of the relationships present in the data.
