Interesting and much needed!
Few questions if the maintainers / owners read this:
1. what is the license? it seems to be not commercial friendly at the moment, but I couldn't tell if it's GPL / AGPL or something else
2. what are your plans for supporting network/graph data structures, graph analytics etc.
3. visualisation plans?
4. is the target to become a fully fledged BI tool? compete with the likes of Tableau / Spotfire only on top of Big Data? (if so I'm very interested!)
- plamb 11y agoI'm an employee for SnappyData, just letting you know I'm going to make sure these questions get answered.
- sudsmenon 11y ago1> Most of it is straight up Apache 2.0 license. The only thing that is not Apache licensed is the approximate query processing piece which is closed source right now. We intend to build out a community and that predicates that much of what we do has to be open source 2> Since we have spliced a database into Spark such that Spark and Snappy share the same memory space. Everything that Spark supports will be supported. The data can be accessed as data frames and accessed using the Spark API (and we will be a 100% compatible) 3> Absolutely. In upcoming releases. Both from a data standpoint and from a management and monitoring, and security. 4> I think becoming a full fledged tool is not on the cards. Think of this as a enterprise class real time operational analytics platform. But we intend to integrate and work closely with the leading tool vendors (especially the AQP piece is great for aggregate class visualizations)
