Simple, high-speed ingestion
File Loader for incremental pulls from buckets
- Micro-batches files from buckets into a Tabular table
- Supports CSV / TSV, JSON and Parquet formats
- Uses notification triggers for > 5 minute latency
- Rules to exclude files or directories
CDC for relational databases mirroring
- Load change events to mirror tables from MySQL, Postgres, or Oracle
- Near-real-time latency via micro-batching
- Configure via GUI or declarative API calls
Kafka Connect or Flink sinks for event streams
- Load raw streamed events
- Fan out to multiple tables
- Exactly once guarantees at high throughput via parallelized writes
- UPSERTs supported
Automated performance optimization
Tabular tables are continuously optimized to speed queries and lower storage costs
- The Tabular Analyzer dynamically tunes based on the data profile and query patterns.
- Using per-table settings, Tabular clusters and compacts to maximize performance and minimize storage.
