As usual, this was a great event to attend!
One of the hot topics was
SAP HANA Vora which is an in-memory query engine for Apache Spark and Hadoop. This in-memory query engine runs on the Apache Spark framework that uses the power of in-memory to analyze Big Data stored in Hadoop and simplifies Big Data ownership by combining SAP HANA and Hadoop data in one landscape. Vora marries Big Data technologies like Hadoop and Spark with the original SAP
HANA with sources like SAP
BW,
Business Objects
and
ERP. Net ITbrings BI-style drill-down analysis into the Big Data world.
HANA Vora is based on the combination of
Apache Spark
and
Hadoop
2.0/
YARN then connects to the original SAP HANA. It also layers in
Spark SQL
enhancements to handle hierarchical queries and adds query facility comparable to what relational databases and data warehouses have had for some time. Vora federates data lakes with enterprise systems of record and does so without incurring the costs of data movement.
