MapR to integrate between Apache Drill and Apache Spark
MapR Technologies has announced an initiative to integrate Apache Drill, which provides instant, self-service data exploration across multiple data sources, with Apache Spark, the in-memory processing framework that provides speed, programming ease and real-time processing advantages.
“Integrating Apache Drill and Spark simplifies the development of data pipelines and opens up Drill SQL-based ad-hoc queries on in-memory data. Joining forces with Databricks to leverage our combined breadth and depth of technical resources to accelerate innovation is a huge win for customers,” said M. C. Srivas, CTO & Co-Founder, MapR Technologies.
Apache Drill provides the flexibility to immediately query complex data in native formats such as schema-less data, nested data, and data with rapidly-evolving schemas, with minimal IT involvement. Because SQL queries can run directly on various file formats, live data can be explored as it is coming in, versus spending weeks preparing and managing schemas and setting up ETL tasks. Additionally, Apache Drill supports ANSI SQL so users can easily leverage their SQL skills and existing investments in business intelligence (BI) tools.
