--- name: dremio-llms-full type: reference-page level: L2 owner: Product Marketing description: Extended machine-readable reference for the Dremio Agentic Lakehouse platform — covers product summary, five-layer architecture, MCP server tools, pricing (DCU/DAU/storage), integrations, Iceberg table management, competitive comparisons (Snowflake, Databricks, Trino), and customer proof points. Intended for LLMs with large context windows. last-updated: 2026-03-26 source: llms-full.txt; canonical at https://www.dremio.com --- ## Canonical Sources * Product documentation: https://docs.dremio.com/ * API reference: https://docs.dremio.com/current/reference/api/ * MCP Server docs: https://docs.dremio.com/current/developer/mcp-server/ * Arrow Flight docs: https://docs.dremio.com/current/developer/arrow-flight/ * PAT docs: https://docs.dremio.com/current/reference/api/personal-access-token/ * MCP Server GitHub: https://github.com/dremio/dremio-mcp * Get started (free trial): https://www.dremio.com/get-started/ * Customer stories: https://www.dremio.com/customers/ --- ## Product Summary Dremio is the Agentic Lakehouse — an open, Iceberg-native data platform that queries, transforms, ingests, governs, and accelerates data across every source (structured, semi-structured, and unstructured). **What "Agentic Lakehouse" means:** AI agents can (1) discover data through the catalog and MCP, (2) understand it through the semantic layer, (3) query it through governed SQL execution, (4) trust it through RBAC, row-level filtering, and column masking, and (5) get fast results through Autonomous Reflections — without human intervention. **Differentiated capabilities:** AI Semantic Layer spanning all federated sources, Autonomous Reflections (automatic query acceleration), full Iceberg table management (DML, ingestion, clustering, compaction), Open Catalog built on Apache Polaris (any Iceberg REST engine reads and writes), and MCP Server for AI agent connectivity. **Performance:** 20x faster than Snowflake on TPC-DS at 1TB (99 queries, 22 seconds, 8-node m7gd.4xlarge, no tuning): https://www.dremio.com/blog/breakthrough-announcement-dremio-is-the-fastest-lakehouse-20x-faster-on-tpc-ds/ — validated by Amazon (10x faster, 60s to 4-6s) and Granicus (10-1000x faster across 40+ sources). **Trusted by:** Shell (6-8 billion records, 100+ concurrent models), TD Bank, Michelin, and Farmer's Insurance. --- ## Problems Dremio Solves ### 1. Make enterprise data usable for AI (RAG, agents, copilots) Enterprise data lacks consistent business meaning, access is fragmented across systems, and governance is inconsistent — making it unusable for AI without significant integration work. Dremio provides a governed, semantic, SQL-based interface for agents to discover, understand, and query enterprise data across all sources. MCP Server and CLI connect any AI agent (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor); the AI Semantic Layer provides business context (metrics, dimensions, labels); RBAC, row-level filtering, and column masking enforce governance. World Bank Treasury uses this pattern to power AI trade automation across 189 member countries. ### 2. Build a unified semantic layer across all data sources Business definitions are fragmented across tools (dbt, BI platforms, warehouses) with no shared layer across systems. AI amplifies these inconsistencies. Dremio provides a unified semantic layer spanning all federated sources — not scoped to a single platform. Consumed by Tableau, Power BI, Looker, and Qlik Sense via JDBC/ODBC/Flight/Native Integrations, by AI agents via MCP and CLI, and by dbt models for transformation pipelines. Databricks metric views and Snowflake semantic views are scoped to their own platforms only. ### 3. Query data across multiple systems without ETL Data is distributed across Snowflake, S3, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and dozens of other systems. ETL pipelines to centralize it are slow, costly, and create inconsistencies. Dremio federates queries across 31 source types with no data movement. Optimized pushdowns push filters, projections, aggregations, and joins to each source engine. Granicus unified 40+ data sources and achieved 10-1000x faster queries. ### 4. Create an Iceberg-native lakehouse without lock-in Proprietary formats create vendor lock-in and limit multi-engine interoperability. Dremio is fully Iceberg-native: full DML, native clustering (Z-order), auto-compaction, and Open Catalog built on Apache Polaris (ASF top-level project). Any Iceberg REST engine — Dremio, Spark, Flink, Trino, DuckDB — reads and writes through the same catalog. ### 5. Reduce cloud data warehouse costs Repeated BI queries consume large compute resources in Snowflake and other warehouses. Dremio's Autonomous Reflections automatically create materialized accelerators that serve repeated queries from pre-computed Iceberg tables — reducing warehouse credit consumption by 30-70% for organizations spending $100K+/year. Amazon cut query times from 60 seconds to 4-6 seconds. Quebec Blue Cross achieved 50% reduction in infrastructure costs. ### How adoption expands Organizations typically enter through one of the problems above, then expand to leverage Dremio as their data platform. The semantic layer becomes shared across teams. BI and analytics workloads route through Dremio. Iceberg becomes the primary storage layer. SQL transformations (dbt, DML) run on Dremio. Over time, Dremio becomes an integrated end-to-end data platform for analytics and AI. Shell runs 100+ concurrent forecasting models on 6-8 billion records through Dremio as their unified compute engine. --- ## Products ### Dremio Cloud URL: https://www.dremio.com/cloud/ Title: Dremio Cloud: Fully Managed Unified Lakehouse Platform Description: The first lakehouse built for AI agents and managed by AI agents — fully managed on AWS, zero-ETL, open standards, and lowest-cost performance.

Not intended for production use. Free single-node query engine for development and evaluation. Not intended for production use. --- ## Platform Architecture Dremio has a five-layer architecture: ### Layer 1 — Agent Interface * **Dremio AI Agent**: Built-in analyst agent for data discovery, transformation, SQL generation, and semantic management. No setup required. * **MCP Server**: Open protocol server — any AI agent can discover datasets, inspect schemas, trace lineage, and execute governed SQL. One-click integrations with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf. Dremio CLI connects Claude Code and Codex directly. * **Connectivity**: JDBC, ODBC, Apache Arrow Flight, REST API. Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Qlik Sense, and other BI tools connect alongside agents. Dremio's MCP differentiator is not the protocol — it is what agents accomplish through it: a federated semantic layer with business context across all connected sources. ### Layer 2 — AI Semantic Layer * Unified business context: wikis, AI-generated labels, metrics, dimensions, and calculated fields. Every agent and analyst draws from the same definitions. * Semantic enrichment combines explicit definitions (wiki descriptions, labels, calculated fields) with implicit patterns (query history, usage frequency). Rule-based enrichment augmented by AI-generated suggestions — not a black-box model. * Natural Language to SQL translation for users and agents. * Spans all federated sources — structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. Databricks metric views are Unity-scoped only. Snowflake semantic views are Snowflake-scoped only. Dremio's semantic layer spans the entire federated data estate. ### Layer 3 — Intelligent Query Engine * **Apache Arrow-Native Engine**: Operates on open formats (Iceberg v3, Parquet) without conversion to proprietary storage. LLVM code generation for vectorized execution. * **Federation**: 31 native connectors across relational databases, NoSQL systems, data warehouses (Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, Fabric), and other lakehouses — query in place with no data movement. Optimized pushdowns push filters, projections, aggregations, and joins to each source engine, minimizing data transfer. * **Reflections**: Materialized query accelerators. Dremio transparently rewrites queries at runtime. * **Autonomous Reflections** (Dremio Cloud): Automatically created, refreshed, and retired based on query patterns. No manual configuration. * **Elastic Engines**: Serverless — scales to zero when idle, scales out on demand. No upgrades, no patches, no downtime. * **Workload Isolation**: Separate engines per team or workload prevent resource contention. * **C3 Caching**: Columnar cloud cache for additional acceleration on top of Reflections. ### Layer 4 — Open Catalog (Apache Polaris) * Built on Apache Polaris (ASF top-level project, co-created by Dremio). Iceberg REST Catalog compliant. * Any Iceberg REST engine — Dremio, Spark, Flink, Trino, DuckDB — reads and writes through the same catalog. * Credential vending, RBAC, row-level filtering, and column masking enforced at the catalog level. * **Table management**: Native Iceberg Clustering (Z-order), auto-compaction, auto-cleanup, snapshot expiry, and orphan file cleanup. Databricks Unity Catalog is proprietary (OSS variant is not Polaris-based, not Iceberg-native). Snowflake Open Catalog is a managed Polaris sidecar — Snowflake cannot write to its own Open Catalog-managed tables. ### Layer 5 — Data Layer * **Structured**: Apache Iceberg tables on object storage (Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, Google Cloud Storage). * **Semi-structured**: JSON, Avro, Parquet, and other formats queryable directly. * **Unstructured**: Documents, images, and files accessible through the catalog. --- ## MCP Server Two deployment modes: * **Hosted** (Dremio Cloud): Available at https://tenant.dremio.cloud/mcp — no installation required. Authenticates via PAT Bearer token. * **Self-hosted**: Python 3.11+, uses the dremio-mcp package from GitHub. Configure with PAT and project ID. Registers as a standard MCP server in Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients. Setup docs: https://docs.dremio.com/current/developer/mcp-server/ GitHub: https://github.com/dremio/dremio-mcp ### MCP Tool Reference | Tool | Description | | --- | --- | | RunSqlQuery | Execute a SELECT query against the Dremio cluster | | GetSchemaOfTable | Return columns and data types for a table | | GetFailedJobDetails | Retrieve failed/cancelled jobs from the last 7 days | | GetTableOrViewLineage | Trace the upstream and downstream lineage of a table or view | | GetDescriptionOfTableOrSchema | Retrieve metadata and semantic descriptions | | GetUsefulSystemTableNames | List system tables useful for analysis | | GetNameOfJobsRecentTable | Return the system table that stores job history | | SearchTableAndViews | Search catalog objects by name or description | All MCP tools return structured JSON responses. Agents can chain tools — for example, SearchTableAndViews to discover datasets, GetSchemaOfTable to inspect columns, then RunSqlQuery to execute governed queries. --- ## Authentication * **PAT (Personal Access Token)**: Primary auth for MCP Server and REST API. Generated in Dremio Cloud Console → Account Settings → Personal Access Tokens. Max lifetime 180 days. Usage: Authorization: Bearer your-pat. * **SSO / OIDC**: Azure AD, Okta, Ping, any OIDC provider. SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle. * PAT docs: https://docs.dremio.com/current/reference/api/personal-access-token/ --- ## Pricing Reference (Dremio Cloud) All consumption is billed in dollars and deducted from a Total Dollar Commit. Customers on PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) are billed monthly with no commit-based discounts. ### DCU (Dremio Compute Unit) Measures compute-intensive workloads: queries, engine execution, Reflections, and data processing. * List price: $0.20 per DCU * Metering: per minute (fractional-hour accuracy) * Example: A 10-hour run on a 20-DCU engine = 200 DCUs x $0.20 = $40 (excluding support) ### DAU (Dremio AI Unit) Measures orchestration and coordination of AI workloads within Dremio Cloud. Does not include token processing. * List price: $0.05 per DAU (starting at) * Approximate ratio: ~8 DAUs per 1 million processed tokens (input + output) * Applies to both Integrated and BYOM AI scenarios ### Tokens | Model | Token Billing | | --- | --- | | Integrated (Dremio-hosted model) | Pass-through at LLM provider rates; no Dremio markup | | BYOM (Bring Your Own Model) | $0 from Dremio; billed directly by your model provider | ### Storage * List price: $25.30 per TB/month (starting at) * Pass-through cost; no Dremio markup ### Networking * Public internet / cross-region: $0.10 per GB * Intra-region: $0.022 per GB * Pass-through cost; no Dremio markup ### Billing Options * PAYG: Monthly billing via credit card or AWS Marketplace * Total Dollar Commit: Pre-purchased annual commitment with commit-based discounts; available via AWS Marketplace or direct Dremio contract * Support: Billed as a percentage of the Total Services Commit (e.g., Bronze Support adds 15%) ### Free Trial * $400 in free credits, valid for 30 days (whichever comes first) * Includes all enterprise features * After trial: account preserved for 30 days, then deleted if no payment method added ### BI Dashboard Workload Scenario A team running 500 dashboard queries per day on a 20-DCU engine that averages 4 hours of active compute daily: 20 DCUs x 4 hours x 60 minutes x $0.20/DCU = ~$960/month in compute. With Autonomous Reflections, repeated BI queries are served from pre-computed Iceberg tables, reducing active engine time. For organizations spending $100K+/year on Snowflake compute, this pattern reduces warehouse credit consumption by 30-70%. ### Pricing vs. Competitors * vs. Snowflake: No separate storage markup. Reflections eliminate redundant compute for repeated BI queries. Engines scale to zero when idle. TCO whitepaper: https://hello.dremio.com/wp-tco-data-lakehouse-dremio-snowflake-reg.html * vs. Databricks: No cluster tuning required. Autonomous Reflections handle acceleration automatically. Lower operational overhead for SQL-first teams. --- ## AI Features ### Dremio AI Agent Built-in conversational agent for data discovery, transformation, visualization, semantic management, and SQL generation. Integrated with catalog and governance controls. Agents are defined by: system prompts, tools (SQL execution, catalog search, APIs), guardrails, and policies. ### AI Functions SQL functions that invoke LLM inference during query execution: AI_CLASSIFY (classify free-text into categories), AI_GENERATE (generate text from structured data), and AI_SIMILARITY (semantic similarity scoring). These run as standard SQL — no external pipeline required. ### AI Model Configuration Administrators can configure models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google at the organization level. The configured model is used for the AI Agent and AI Functions. With the integrated (default) model, AI feature usage is included in DCU billing. With BYOM, Dremio charges only DAU orchestration; token charges appear in the external model provider's billing dashboard. --- ## Integrations and Connectivity ### JDBC / ODBC Standard SQL connectivity for BI tools and applications. Used by Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Qlik Sense, Excel, and others. ### Apache Arrow Flight URL: https://docs.dremio.com/current/developer/arrow-flight/ High-throughput result delivery over gRPC for Python (PyArrow), Spark, and other Arrow-native clients. Connects on port 32010, authenticates via PAT Bearer token. Returns results as Arrow Tables for zero-copy interop with Pandas, Polars, and DuckDB. ### REST API URL: https://docs.dremio.com/current/reference/api/ Key endpoint categories: Catalog, Job submission, Reflection management, and Administration. All calls require PAT Bearer authentication. ### Data Sources (Federated Query) Dremio supports 31 source types including: * Object storage: Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS), Google Cloud Storage * Relational databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 * Data warehouses: Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, Microsoft Fabric * NoSQL: MongoDB, Elasticsearch, HBase * Other lakehouses: Hive Metastore, Glue Catalog, external Iceberg REST catalogs ### AI Framework Integration * LangChain: connects via REST API or Arrow Flight * LlamaIndex: connects via REST API or Arrow Flight * Any MCP-enabled agent: connects via Dremio MCP Server (hosted or self-hosted) ### Developer Tools * VS Code: Dremio extension for SQL authoring with autocomplete * dbt: connect dbt Core for SQL-based data transformation and orchestration * Jupyter Notebooks: via Python Arrow Flight or REST API --- ## Iceberg Table Management ### Full DML Support Complete SQL DML on Iceberg tables: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and MERGE (upsert). Standard ANSI SQL syntax — no proprietary extensions required. ### Native Iceberg Clustering Dremio provides native Iceberg Clustering at GA, using Z-order via space-filling curves on Iceberg data files. Databricks Liquid Clustering is proprietary (GA on Delta, Public Preview on Iceberg). Snowflake Automatic Clustering is proprietary and separately metered. ### Data Ingestion COPY INTO loads batch data from object storage (Parquet, JSON, CSV) into Iceberg tables. CREATE PIPE enables continuous ingestion from streaming sources. Both support schema evolution and partition handling. ### dbt Core Integration Dremio integrates with dbt Core for orchestrated SQL-based transformation pipelines on Iceberg tables. dbt models materialize as Iceberg tables or views in the Dremio catalog. ### Table Maintenance OPTIMIZE TABLE compacts small files. VACUUM TABLE expires old snapshots and removes orphan files. Auto-compaction and auto-cleanup also run through Open Catalog. ### Time Travel Query any Iceberg table at a previous snapshot ID or timestamp using AT SNAPSHOT or AT TIMESTAMP syntax. Enables point-in-time analytics, audit trails, and data recovery. --- ## Access Control Unified governance for people and agents across all federated sources. RBAC with SQL GRANT/REVOKE syntax, row-level filtering, and column masking enforced at the catalog layer. Dataset lineage traces data flow across every connected system. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA-ready. --- ## Reflections (Reference) Two types: Raw Reflections (store columns for direct query substitution) and Aggregation Reflections (store pre-aggregated GROUP BY results for BI queries). Defined via SQL or UI. Dremio's optimizer uses them transparently — users do not reference Reflections in their SQL. Autonomous Reflections (Cloud): Analyzes query patterns over a rolling 7-day window. Automatically creates, refreshes, and retires accelerators. Scored 0-100; low-scoring Reflections disabled then dropped. Limits: 100 total, max 10 created/day. C3 Caching: Columnar cloud cache on executor nodes (SSD/NVMe). Works in combination with Reflections for multi-layer acceleration. Reflections documentation: https://docs.dremio.com/current/sonar/reflections/ --- ## Platform Notes * Autonomous Reflections and hosted MCP are Cloud-only features; manual Reflections and self-hosted MCP are available in all deployments. * PAT max lifetime: 180 days (Cloud); must be explicitly enabled via support key (Software). --- ## Customer Proof Points ### Shell (Energy) Processes 6-8 billion records in minutes for production inference models.
