InfoWorld published a contributed piece by your’s truly called Dremio: Simpler And Faster Data Analytics. In this article I lay out some historical context for why now is such an important time to focus on the produtivity of data consumers: analysts, data engineers, and data scientists, easily numbering over 150 million individuals today.
We explain the concept of Data Fabric, Dremio’s role, and how open source is a key part of making all of this work, including Apache Parquet, Apache Arrow, Apache Calcite, and Dremio.
This article includes some code samples, such as how Dremio converts SQL to Elasticsearch DSL, but even if you don’t like reading code there’s still a lot of good info here.
