One of the biggest challenges with data lakes in general, and Hadoop in particular, is geting real-time analytics performance out of a technology like Hadoop that was designed to trade off performance for scalability. While technologies like Hive, Presto, Parquet, ORC and others have delivered improvements, none of them provide near real-time, sub-second performance at scale.

Technologies like Apache Druid are used today alongside Hadoop to deliver real-time queries using the data from the data lake. Druid has also helped these same companies implement end-to-end real-time analytics using message buses like Kafka or Kinesis.

This whitepaper from Imply Data Inc. explains why delivering real-time analytics on a data lake is so hard, approaches companies have taken to accelerate their data lakes, and how they leveraged the same technology to create end-to-end real-time analytics architectures.

The 14 page whitepaper includes the following compelling topics:

  • Origins and Limitations of the Data Warehouse
  • Enter the Elephant – Hadoop and Big Data
  • Real-Time Analytics = Fast Ingestion + Fast Query
  • Hadoop, EDWs Are Not For Real-Time Analytics
  • How to Add Real-Time Analytics to Hadoop (2 use cases)
  • Keeping Historical and Real-Time Analytics in Sync
  • How Much Faster is Real-Time Analytics Software
  • How Companies Adopted Real-Time Analytics
  • The Elephant’s First Dance Steps

Apache Druid is an open source distributed data store. Druid’s core design
combines ideas from data warehouses, time series databases, and search systems to create a unified system for real-time analytics for a broad range of use cases. Druid merges key characteristics of each of these three architectures into its ingestion, storage and querying layers.
