Data Exploration and Dashboard Creation in a Cloud Based Data Warehouse

In this meetup, we’ll go through the process of loading synthetic data into a virtual warehouse, running ad hoc queries to determine certain trends within this data, and finally creating a dashboard to present our results using a built in data visualization tool. We’ll put ourselves in the shoes of a data scientist responsible for investigating a recent downturn in company productivity and go through a similar process to one you might see occur in any data driven company. Within this example you’ll see Apache Spark used to ingest and transform data, Apache Impala and Apache Hue used to query our data leveraging easily created virtual compute resources, and a new built in data visualization tool to wrap it all up and present our results.
