Hey All,

The Apache Lens team is proud to announce the release of Apache Lens
 2.5.0-beta.

Apache Lens provides an Unified Analytics interface. Lens aims to cut the
Data Analytics silos by providing a single view of data across multiple
tiered data stores and optimal execution environment for the analytical
query. It seamlessly integrates Hadoop with traditional data warehouses to
appear like one.
