Bringing transaction support to Cloudera Operational Database

We’re excited to share that after adding ANSI SQL, secondary indices, star schema, and view capabilities to Cloudera’s Operational Database, we will be introducing distributed transaction support in the coming months. The ACID model of database design is one of the most important concepts in databases. ACID stands for atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability. For a very long time, strict adherence to these four properties was required for a commercially successful database.

How does Apache Spark 3.0 increase the performance of your SQL workloads

Across nearly every sector working with complex data, Spark has quickly become the de-facto distributed computing framework for teams across the data and analytics lifecycle. One of most awaited features of Spark 3.0 is the new Adaptive Query Execution framework (AQE), which fixes the issues that have plagued a lot of Spark SQL workloads. Those were documented in early 2018 in this blog from a mixed Intel and Baidu team.

Using Sendgrid with Moesif API Analytics to Send Behavioral Emails

In this guide you’ll learn how to send Moesif behavioral emails with Sendgrid. Moesif behavioral emails is a feature that automatically sends emails to customers based on their API usage.

Exploding arrays in Kafka with lateral joins

In this article we are going to explore lateral joins. "What is a lateral join?" you may ask. It's a new kind of join that allows to extract and work with the single elements found inside an array, as if the array was a normal table. Lenses 4.1 comes with a lot of new features that make your life easier when working with arrays: we introduced 6 new functions to work with arrays, better support for array literals, and lateral joins.
