One of the popular new Big Data SQL features is its Query Server. You can think of Query Server as an Oracle Database 18c query engine that uses the Hive metastore to capture table definitions. Data isn’t stored in Query Server; it allows you to access data in Hadoop, NoSQL, Kafka and Object Stores (Oracle Object Store and Amazon S3) using Oracle SQL. Installation and Configuration Architecturally, here’s what a Big Data SQL deployment with Query Server looks like: There...

Big Data SQL 4.0 introduces a data processing enhancement that can have a dramatic impact on query performance: distributed aggregation using in-memory capabilities. Big Data SQL has always done a great job of filtering data on the Hadoop cluster. It does this using the following optimizations: 1) column projection, 2) partition pruning, 3) storage indexes, 4) predicate pushdown. Column projection is the first optimization. If your table has 200 columns – and you are only...

Apache Avro is a common data format in big data solutions. Now, these types of files are easily accessible to Oracle Autonomous Databases. One of Avro's key benefits is that it enables efficient data exchange between applications and services. Data storage is compact and efficient – and the file format itself supports schema evolution. It does this by including the schema within each file – with an explanation of the characteristics of each field. In a previous post about...
