You Up To Improving Traversals/DSLs/OLAP in TinkerPop 3.2.0?

Big ideas for Traversals/DSLs/OLAP in TinkerPop 3.2.0 by Marko A. Rodriguez.

Marko posted a not earlier today that reads in part:

There is currently no active development on TinkerPop 3.2.0, however, in my spare time I’ve been developing (on paper) some new ideas that should make traversals, DSLs, and OLAP even better.

Problem #1: The Builder pattern for TraversalSources is lame. [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-971]

…

Problem #2: It is not natural going from OLTP to OLAP to OLTP to OLAP. [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-570]
…

I mention this because it has been almost seven (7) hours since Marko posted this note and its not like he is covered up with responses!

Myself included but I’m not qualified to comment on his new ideas. One or more of you are. Take up the challenge!

TinkerPop, the community and you will be better for it.

Enjoy!

Open Source Distributed Analytics Engine with SQL interface and OLAP on Hadoop by eBay – Kylin by Avkash Chauhan.

From the post:

Key Features:

  • Extremely Fast OLAP Engine at Scale:
    • Kylin is designed to reduce query latency on Hadoop for 10+ billions of rows of data
  • ANSI-SQL Interface on Hadoop:
    • Kylin offers ANSI-SQL on Hadoop and supports most ANSI-SQL query functions
  • Interactive Query Capability:
    • Users can interact with Hadoop data via Kylin at sub-second latency, better than Hive queries for the same dataset
  • MOLAP Cube:
    • User can define a data model and pre-build in Kylin with more than 10+ billions of raw data records
  • Seamless Integration with BI Tools:
    • Kylin currently offers integration capability with BI Tools like Tableau.
  • Other Highlights:
    • Job Management and Monitoring
    • Compression and Encoding Support
    • Incremental Refresh of Cubes
    • Leverage HBase Coprocessor for query latency
    • Approximate Query Capability for distinct Count (HyperLogLog)
    • Easy Web interface to manage, build, monitor and query cubes
    • Security capability to set ACL at Cube/Project Level
    • Support LDAP Integration

A useful write-up for an overview of Kylin: Announcing Kylin: Extreme OLAP Engine for Big Data, the blog post from eBay that announces the open sourcing of Kylin.

What caught my eye was the use of pre-calculation of combinations of dimensions using Hadoop. Sounds promising!
