How to Visualize data in Apache Kudu?

Question

Is it possible to visualize data in Apache Kudu? Is there any guideline for it?

Answer 1

Kudu itself does not have any built-in data visualization tool. Just like Oracle is an RDBMS and it does not come with a data visualization tool either. However, there are a few options:

1. Built a custom visualization tool yourself by using Java, Python or C++ API. https://kudu.apache.org/docs/developing.html.
2. Impala is a SQL engine that has built-in integration with Kudu. It also supports ODBC/JDBC driver. Thus you can hook almost any BI tools to Impala to query the data in Kudu and build visualization.

Answer 2

You can also use Arcadia Data visualization which directly connects to Kudu tables without Impala connection. And Arcadia is built specially for Big data applications, which resides on distributed cluster. [Distributed visualization tool for distributed computing]
