Impala is married to Hadoop. What if your data infrastructure isn't built on hbase and too complex/large to integrate it easily? Would impala still serve that purpose?
- TallGuyShort 14y agoIf your data is too difficult to integrate into HDFS (doesn't have to be HBase) using existing Hadoop tools, I suspect you're going to have to do some work to use that data on any platform.
- monstrado 14y agoImpala doesn't require HBase to operate, it can use raw HDFS. Simple example, if you had a few terabytes of TSV files, you could easily copy the raw data into HDFS and then create a simple schema around it. All queries on this data would be in parallel across all the nodes in the cluster, this is partly due to the distributed nature of HDFS.
