Topic

A new era of columnar in-memory analytics

Abstract

In-memory technologies, such as Apache Spark, and columnar storage technologies, such as Apache Parquet and Apache Kudu, enable high performance analytics on large volumes of data. In this talk we will discuss how columnar in-memory analytics can provide unprecedented speed and eliminate cross-system communication overhead so that organizations can take advantage of multiple databases, execution engines and applications in a single workload.
