Synopsis

A new way of thinking is needed to bring end-to-end agility Hadoop/NoSQL solutions. Along with the broad eco system of SQL tools, close attention is required for working with rapidly evolving data models in a Big Data world.

M.C. Srivas will cover how Apache Drill is driving this audacious goal to bring Instant, Self Service SQL natively on Hadoop/NoSQL data without compromising either the flexibility of Hadoop/NoSQL systems or the low latency required for BI/Analytics experience.

Including the exciting architectural challenges the Apache Drill community is working with, progress made so far and the roadmap
