Carbon Data integration with HIVE

[Lewis Goldstein <le...@gm.com>]

Happened upon Apache CarbonData while searching for info on other Columnar Data Stores on HDFS.   As I am looking for ways to accelerate consumption from Hadoop that could cover both large query, interactive query, and OLAP this technology sounds quite promising.   On initial read it sounds like CarbonData is considered another Columnar Data Store on HDFS analogous to Parquet and ORC, but then on further reading it sounds like to load data to this format it must pass through Spark;  I would like to know if this is truly the case?

Was hoping it would work similar to Parquet and Hive in that one would just define the Hive Table as external with a designated file type of CarbonData - is this possible or does one need Spark to be an intermediary?   Is CarbonData actually more like Druid than simply another Columnar Data Store on HDFS?
