Hawq – A true SQL engine for Hadoop -Shailesh Doshi from Pivotal
Over 50% of the enterprises are struggling to get more value out of existing data lakes.To unlock the true value of the entire data stored within Hadoop, enterprises need a simpler way of connecting to the data to query, analyze and perform deep data analytics. While the MapReduce and other powerful paradigms exist, nothing can compare the ease of SQL.
SQL support on Hadoop began with Apache Hive, a SQL-like query engine that compiles a limited SQL using MapReduce or Tez. However the latencies and limited SQL support makes it useful primarily for batch-mode operation. HDB aka Hawq provides you ability to address enterprise-class SQL based analysis capability.
