What do you like best about Apache HAWQ?

It is a very fast tool and scalable online analytical processing SQL system. We can also run federated queries using the HAWQ. This software also enables us to use the tools to deal with a wide-set range of data. It is basically a SQL Query engine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HAWQ?

The Major problem we can encounter is that if the instance or the master instance is down then the users around would not be able to connect . It is not the fastest SQL engine available in the market, while we think Actian Vector H is the fastest. If I am going to work on semi-structured data then I would prefer to use drill and query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache HAWQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a very capable product and we are using it for metadata dispatch and for dealing with the PETA range of data sets. We are using it with Power BI applications and visualization tools as HAWQ is compatible with them plus we also used it for nested queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache HAWQ?

HAWQ is a very capable product with some unique and compelling capabilities. For me it's the fastest SQL query engine on Hadoop. Also the quality and the completeness. HAWQ has much better performance than Impala on queries with large joins, rollups, or complex sub-selects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HAWQ?

There are some better option than HAWQ in terms of speed, which approved by many users. But personally I found it more suiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache HAWQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this to reads data from and writes data to HDFS natively, also use this to cloud deployment, multiple level of partitioning, optimization and to access of all HDFS data and external system data like HBase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache HAWQ?

Has limitations when huge data involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache HAWQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for a big data analytical engine which was SQL based so that we don't have to write complex map reduce code. It's similar to greenplum and teradata so getting resources to work and scale up was easy. It was fast and data processing was accurate and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
