Comments on: How one startup wants to inject Hadoop into your SQL http://gigaom.com/2012/07/24/how-one-startup-wants-to-inject-hadoop-into-your-sql/ Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:54:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Marcus Mueller http://gigaom.com/2012/07/24/how-one-startup-wants-to-inject-hadoop-into-your-sql/#comment-870663 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 07:09:26 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=545849#comment-870663 Actually, why trying to add relational features to a non-relational platform like Hadoop in the first place? Wouldn’t it be better to leverage the existing SQL engines (they already came quite a long way!) and add MapReduce to such a platform like Aster Data used to do it? Just my 2 cts…

Its query mechanism is largely undefined, for joins can always be performed separately via a different set of machines, forming a pipeline if you need high join throughputs. Not supporting JOIN in the core-level query language not sufficient for a database to not be relational.

And you don’t need joins for rich functionality. Denormalize.” http://bit.ly/Qj5W5d

So, it doesn’t support JOIN, but it plans to real soon now!

This means it is not relational. This means it is not SQL. Even Hive has the dignity not to call it’s query language “SQL” though HiveQL is significantly closer to SQL than this. Don’t believe the hype.
