Apache Spark support via SparkSQL and DataFrames ------------------------------------------------ Key: TEIID-3442 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3442 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Misc. Connectors Affects Versions: 8.10 Reporter: John Muller Labels: Connectors, Spark, Translators Fix For: Open To Community Original Estimate: 20 weeks Remaining Estimate: 20 weeks Eliciting comments for Apache Spark support. With the release of Panda's like DataFrames, it is a little more feasible to directly translate to SparkSQL: https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html Options in order of complexity: 1. Use the existing Hive connector / translator. Spark still uses the Hive metastore. 2. Thrift JDBC driver. This is what Microstrategy, Tableau, QlikView and others use, most rudimentary API for accessing Spark. 3. Native SparkSQL via building Spark jobs and submitting them to a running Spark driver.
