About Apache Kylin

Apache Kylin™ is an open source, distributed Analytical Data Warehouse for Big Data; it was designed to provide OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) capability in the big data era. By renovating the multi-dimensional cube and precalculation technology on Hadoop and Spark, Kylin is able to achieve near constant query speed regardless of the ever-growing data volume. Reducing query latency from minutes to sub-second, Kylin brings online analytics back to big data. Kylin can analyze 10+ billions of rows in less than a second. No more waiting on reports for critical decisions. Kylin connects data on Hadoop to BI tools like Tableau, PowerBI/Excel, MSTR, QlikSense, Hue and SuperSet, making the BI on Hadoop faster than ever. As an Analytical Data Warehouse, Kylin offers ANSI SQL on Hadoop/Spark and supports most ANSI SQL query functions. Kylin can support thousands of interactive queries at the same time, thanks to the low resource consumption of each query.

Installed as an on-premises server instance, SQL Server Analysis Services supports tabular models at all compatibility levels (depending on version), multidimensional models, data mining, and Power Pivot for SharePoint. A typical implementation workflow includes installing a SQL Server Analysis Services instance, creating a tabular or multidimensional data model, deploying the model as a database to a server instance, processing the database to load it with data, and then assigning permissions to allow data access. When ready to go, the data model can be accessed by any client application supporting Analysis Services as a data source. Models are populated with data from external data systems, usually data warehouses hosted on a SQL Server or Oracle relational database engine (Tabular models support additional data source types).
