Apache Tajo

What do you like best?

I find Apache Tajo is a bit easier to navigate than Apache Hive. I also noticed that the results I received from queries were coming in much faster than our previous software.

What do you dislike?

The software is a bit complicated and has a tough learning curve for users who aren't previously familiar with SQL coding. We had to really onboard our team in order to effectively utilize the system.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Apache Tajo makes it much easier to organize large sets of data. The software is fast and doesn't frequently crash which is a problem we had experienced in the past. I think one of the biggest benefits was the full SQL support: As long as people who are using Tajo are already comfortable with HQL, there's no pressing need for SQL. Although you can easily understand why it's a benefit to have full-sql support.
