Improving Ad Hoc Query Speed for Hadoop Data

As user organizations dive deeper into big data analytics, many are depending more heavily than ever on SQL-based, ad hoc queries as their primary method for data exploration and discovery analytics (sometimes called investigative analytics). At the same time, the same organizations are adopting or considering Hadoop as their primary storage platform for big data. SQL-based analytics and Hadoop are good choices in isolation, but bringing them together has a catch: Hadoop’s support for queries is minimal at the moment.

Using Analytics to be Predictive and Proactive

Organizations today need to get ahead of events so they can adjust decisions about resources, personnel, up-sell and cross-sell offers, fraud and abuse detection, and more in dynamic fashion. Analytics can play a key role in bringing predictive insights to executives and managers. With these insights coupled with continuous, real-time data views from business and operational intelligence systems, organizations can be “proactive”—that is, they can do more than just react after the fact to events and market changes, and instead shape their own destiny.

Data visualization and visual data discovery can enable diverse types of users—from data scientists working with big data to nontechnical business managers and frontline users—to see significant trends and patterns in data that they would have struggled to see in voluminous tabular reports and spreadsheets. As big data volumes grow and organizations seek to integrate diverse and complex information, users’ ability to comprehend information quickly and put it to productive use hinges on data visualization.
