CarbonData is a high-performance data solution that supports various data analytic scenarios, including BI analysis, ad-hoc SQL query, fast filter lookups on detail record, streaming analytics, etc. CarbonData has been deployed in many enterprise production environments, in one of the largest scenario it supports queries on single table with 5PB 3PB data (more than 10 5 trillion records)  with response time less than 3 seconds!

We encourage you to use the release release https://distarchive.apache.org/repos/dist/release/carbondata/1.4.0/, and feedback through the CarbonData user mailing lists!

In this version of CarbonData, following are the new features added for performance improvements, compatibility, and usability of CarbonDatamore than 230 JIRA tickets for new feature, improvement and bugs has been resolved. Following are the summary.

Carbon Core

Improved Data Load

...

Performance

Data loading performance has been improved dramatically due to various enhancements, including sorting temp file improvement, sort boundary mechanism, direct write without data move, and others. In one of the production environment, we have observed as much as 300% improvement comparing to last version, from 35MB/s/node to 102MB/s/node data loading throughput.

Improved Compaction

...

Performance

By employing data prefetching and various improvement in vectorized reader during compaction, compaction operation on CarbonData table is improved up to 5 times 500% compare to last version. In one of the production environment, application can support 5 minutes data loading (100s of GB) while maintaining second level query performance by automatic compaction for every 30 and 60 minutes (configured with "carbon.compaction.level.threshold" set to "6,2") to reduce number of segments.

...

You can specify Cloud Storage as external table location, such as storing in AWS S3, HuaweiCloud OBS, etc.

Supports SDK for Standalone Application

Provided Carbon SDK to write and read CarbonData files through Java API without Hadoop and Spark dependency, user can use this SDK in standalone Java application to convert existing data into CarbonData files. It supports write to local disk or cloud storage, from following formats.

...

Materialized View is integrated as a DataMap in CarbonData, it provides pre-aggregation for SPJGH-. Comparing to "preaggregate" DataMap introduced in version 1.3.0, it covers more scenario for OLAP application. Currently, it supports SPJGH-like table (select-prodicatepredicate-join-groupby-having) .  User can use existing DataMap statement to and user can follow existing DataMap statement (similar to CTAS statement) to  create, drop, show Materialized Viewsthem. While querying, system finds good MVs based on cost for query rewrite to improve query performance. As an initial release of this feature, while we encourage user to try and test, it still has some limitation and will be improved in coming release.  

Enhancement for Detail Record Analysis
