Use this tag to annotate questions about the use of Spark and Hadoop specifically in the context of SAP's Vora engine.
To quote from the official SAP Press Release:
“SAP HANA Vora is a new in-memory query engine which leverages and extends the Apache Spark execution framework to provide enriched interactive analytics on Hadoop. As companies take part in their digital transformation journey, they face complex hurdles in dealing with distributed Big Data everywhere, compounded by the lack of business process awareness across enterprise apps, analytics, Big Data and IoT sources.”
In short, SAP HANA Vora extends Hadoop with in-memory computing, enterprise functionality and data science, helping customers simplify their IT landscape and bring context to data lakes. It also extends the HANA platform with the ability to store Big Data and has data temperature management to move data from HANA to Vora.
