HAWQ reads data from and writes data to HDFS natively. HAWQ delivers industry-leading performance and linear scalability. It provides users the tools to confidently and successfully interact with petabyte range data sets. HAWQ provides users with a complete, standards compliant SQL interface. More specifically, HAWQ has the following features:

  • On-premise or cloud deployment
  • Robust ANSI SQL compliance: SQL-92, SQL-99, SQL-2003, OLAP extension
  • Extremely high performance. many times faster than other Hadoop SQL engine

  • Full transaction capability and consistency guarantee: ACID
  • Dynamic data flow engine through high speed UDP based interconnect
  • Elastic execution engine based on virtual segment & data locality
  • Support multiple level partitioning and List/Range based partitioned tables
  • Multiple compression method support: snappy, gzip, quicklz, RLE
  • Multi-language user defined function support: Python, Perl, Java, C/C++, R
  • Advanced machine learning and data mining functionalities through MADLib
  • Dynamic node expansion: in seconds
  • Most advanced three level resource management: Integrate with YARN and hierarchical resource queues.
  • Easy access of all HDFS data and external system data (for example, HBase)
  • Hadoop Native: from storage (HDFS), resource management (YARN) to deployment (Ambari).
  • Authentication & Granular authorization: Kerberos, SSL and role based access
  • Advanced C/C++ access library to HDFS and YARN: libhdfs3 & libYARN
  • Support most third party tools: Tableau, SAS et al.
