Getting Started with Impala: Interactive SQL for Apache Hadoop - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Learn how to write, tune, and port SQL queries and other statements for a Big Data environment, using Impala--the massively parallel processing SQL query engine for Apache Hadoop. The best practices in this practical guide help you design database schemas that not only interoperate with other Hadoop components, and are convenient for administers to manage and monitor, but also accommodate future expansion in data size and evolution of software capabilities.

Ideal for database developers and business analysts, the latest revision covers analytics functions, complex types, incremental statistics, subqueries, and submission to the Apache incubator.
