Apache Kudu Description

A Kudu cluster comprises tables that resemble those found in traditional relational (SQL) databases. These tables can range from a straightforward binary key and value structure to intricate designs featuring hundreds of strongly-typed attributes. Similar to SQL tables, each Kudu table is defined by a primary key, which consists of one or more columns; this could be a single unique user identifier or a composite key such as a (host, metric, timestamp) combination tailored for time-series data from machines. The primary key allows for quick reading, updating, or deletion of rows. The straightforward data model of Kudu facilitates the migration of legacy applications as well as the development of new ones, eliminating concerns about encoding data into binary formats or navigating through cumbersome JSON databases. Additionally, tables in Kudu are self-describing, enabling the use of standard analysis tools like SQL engines or Spark. With user-friendly APIs, Kudu ensures that developers can easily integrate and manipulate their data. This approach not only streamlines data management but also enhances overall efficiency in data processing tasks.
