David Wang , VP of Product , Imply fit in memory to maintain high CPU efficiency for query performance .
Now that Druid supports shuffle joins at ingestion , Druid can join large data sets at ingestion , which simplifies data preparation , minimizes reliance on external tools and adds to Druid ’ s capabilities for indatabase data transformation .
Can you elaborate on the recent product updates and enhancements made to Imply Polaris , the cloud database service for Apache Druid ?
But the definition of that schema has to happen before data is loaded – commonly referred to as schemaon-write . But as source data changes it becomes a nightmare for engineering teams to manage .
Druid now uniquely fixes this challenge with schema auto-discovery . Druid continues to utilize a stronglytype data format for its performance benefits , but the definition of the schema is now ( optionally ) completely automated .
Druid can auto-discover column names and data types as data is ingested – and even as the data source changes – and store the data type for each dimension ’ s column with all the Druid segment optimization – all automatically . This means developers get all the flexibility and ease of a schemaless data format without any performance impact whatsoever .
What is the significance of Druid now supporting large complex joins during ingestion and how does it simplify data preparation and enhance Druid ’ s capabilities ?
There ’ s both short-term significance and longerterm implication with the architectural introduction of shuffle joins . For quick context , Druid has supported joins since version 0.18 but the previous join capabilities were limited to joining tables that could
Imply Polaris has seen tremendous growth and adoption since it was first introduced in March 2022 . Development teams utilize Polaris as it ’ s the ‘ easy
button ’ for getting all the Druid performance without having to become an expert in it . Since its initial availability , Imply ’ s engineering team continues to add product enhancements and features that improve the developer experience .
How does Imply Polaris optimize data operations and deliver an end-to-end service from stream ingestion to data visualization ?
While Imply Polaris is a cloud service for Apache Druid , it takes a more expansive approach to its value than simply cloudifying Druid .
Polaris handles sizing , scaling and upgrades without the operational effort of self-managing opensource software .
Data ingestion is made very simple as it supports push-based ingestion that enables event data to stream directly into Polaris without the need to stand up a new streaming pipeline . And for visualization , Polaris includes a robust framework where developers can immediately start visualizing the data as it is ingested in real-time and utilize its API to embed visualizations easily into their applications . p
