Apache Phoenix combines the best of both worlds to enable OLTP and operational analysis in Hadoop. This allows for low-latency Hadoop applications. HBase is used as the backing store for Apache Phoenix, which combines the power of SQL and JDBC with ACID transaction support and flexibility of late bound, schema-on read capabilities from the NoSQL realm. Apache Phoenix is fully compatible with other Hadoop tools such as Spark and Hive. It also integrates with Pig, Flume and Map Reduce. Become the trusted Hadoop data platform for OLTP, operational analytics and Hadoop via well-defined APIs. Apache Phoenix compiles your SQL query into a series HBase scans and orchestrates their running to produce regular JDBC results sets. Direct use of HBase API along with coprocessors, custom filters and other tools results in performance of milliseconds or seconds for small queries.
