How to Use SQL, Hadoop, Drill, REST, JSON, NoSQL, and HBase in a Simple REST Client
Our friend Carol just published this article.
SQL will become one of the most prolific use cases in the Hadoop ecosystem, according to Forrester Research. Apache Drill is an open source SQL query engine for big data exploration. REST services and clients have emerged as popular technologies on the Internet. Apache HBase is a hugely popular Hadoop NoSQL database. This blog post discusses combining all of these technologies: SQL, Hadoop, Drill, REST with JSON, NoSQL, and HBase, by showing how to use the Drill REST API to query HBase and Hive. It also shares a simple jQuery client that uses the Drill REST API, with JSON as the data exchange, to provide a basic user interface
