If your goal is to provide data to an analyst rather than a data scientist, what’s the best way to deliver analytics? There are 70+ BI tools in the market and a dozen or more SQL- or OLAP-on-Hadoop open source projects. Mark Madsen and Shant Hovsepian outline the trade-offs between a number of architectures that provide self-service access to data and discuss the pros and cons of architectures, deployment strategies, and examples of BI on big data.

Topics include:

  • Categorizing types of use, workloads, and serving layers
  • Traditional BI platforms based on semantic layers and SQL/MDX generation
  • Server and desktop BI tools based on direct mapping of data
  • Distributed BI platforms (e.g., MPP and data native)
  • OLAP- and SQL-on-Hadoop
