Apache DataFusion
Apache DataFusion is an extensible, high-performance query engine written in Rust that utilizes Apache Arrow as its in-memory format. Designed for developers building data-centric systems such as databases, data frames, machine learning, and streaming applications, DataFusion offers SQL and DataFrame APIs, a vectorized, multi-threaded, streaming execution engine, and support for partitioned data sources. It natively supports formats like CSV, Parquet, JSON, and Avro, and allows for seamless integration with object stores including AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage. The engine features a comprehensive query planner, a state-of-the-art optimizer with capabilities like expression coercion and simplification, projection and filter pushdown, sort and distribution-aware optimizations, and automatic join reordering. DataFusion is highly customizable, enabling the addition of user-defined scalar, aggregate, and window functions, custom data sources, query languages, etc.

Oracle Big Data SQL Cloud Service
Oracle Big Data SQL Cloud Service enables organizations to immediately analyze data across Apache Hadoop, NoSQL and Oracle Database leveraging their existing SQL skills, security policies and applications with extreme performance. From simplifying data science efforts to unlocking data lakes, Big Data SQL makes the benefits of Big Data available to the largest group of end users possible. Big Data SQL gives users a single location to catalog and secure data in Hadoop and NoSQL systems, Oracle Database. Seamless metadata integration and queries which join data from Oracle Database with data from Hadoop and NoSQL databases. Utilities and conversion routines support automatic mappings from metadata stored in HCatalog (or the Hive Metastore) to Oracle Tables. Enhanced access parameters give administrators the flexibility to control column mapping and data access behavior. Multiple cluster support enables one Oracle Database to query multiple Hadoop clusters and/or NoSQL systems.
