What do you like best about Apache Kudu?

Kudu is a big improvement for Impala data that needs to be quickly queried ad hoc while still being able to incrementally add to that data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Kudu?

Kudu seems to have limited use in Impala. I have tried using is in Spark but didn't have great results (some of that was my fault). Impala isn't really for streaming data where the speed comes in so I'm not sure Kudu fits my use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Streaming data into Kudu to quickly query that data from Impala or Spark. Impala for ad hoc queries and Spark for batch processing of data. We saw significant improvements in Kudu but not that same improvements for Spark so we are not using Kudu for production work loads as ad hoc querying was not as important for us.
