Apache Kudu Integration Testing in Scala/SBT Applications
Introduction to Kudu Integration Testing Beginning with the 1.9.0 release, Apache Kudu published new testing utilities that include Java libraries for starting and stopping a pre-compiled Kudu cluster. This utility enables JVM developers to easily test against a locally running Kudu cluster without any knowledge of Kudu internal components or its different processes. Cloudera published […]

Implementing Metadata as Part of Data Management
Data centralization without careful metadata implementation is like stocking a warehouse without sorting and labeling all the boxes. Yes, you may have everything you need in there; but your end users will be wandering around lost. For example, how would someone looking for manufacturing material know, without access to metadata, that they needed to use […]
Archway: Self-Service Data Engineering on Cloudera CDH

However, it’s not fair to others and it can be detrimental to queries supporting important business processes. What we see at a lot […]
How to Query a Kudu Table Using Impala JDBC in Cloudera Data Science Workbench
Kudu is an excellent storage choice for many data science use cases that involve streaming, predictive modeling, and time series analysis. However, in industries like healthcare and finance where data security compliance is a hard requirement, some people worry about storing sensitive data (e.g. PHI, PII, PCI, et al) on Kudu without fine-grained authorization. Kudu […]
