This is an experimental module allowing some fields to be stored directly in the base table of their entity, provided that they are single-valued and non-translatable.
This module has been written as a way to add strong consistency in the Drupal schema without losing the benefits of the Field API infrastructure. By storing fields in the base table of the entity, we can add unique keys between several fields and properties of an entity, while still being able to use field widgets and formatters.
