Apache Impala vs. Apache Phoenix vs. Cloudera Data Warehouse vs. JavaScript Comparison Chart

Impala provides low latency and high concurrency for BI/analytic queries on the Hadoop ecosystem, including Iceberg, open data formats, and most cloud storage options. Impala also scales linearly, even in multitenant environments. Impala is integrated with native Hadoop security and Kerberos for authentication, and via the Ranger module, you can ensure that the right users and applications are authorized for the right data. Utilize the same file and data formats and metadata, security, and resource management frameworks as your Hadoop deployment, with no redundant infrastructure or data conversion/duplication. For Apache Hive users, Impala utilizes the same metadata and ODBC driver. Like Hive, Impala supports SQL, so you don't have to worry about reinventing the implementation wheel. With Impala, more users, whether using SQL queries or BI applications, can interact with more data through a single repository and metadata stored from source through analysis.

Cloudera Data Warehouse is a cloud-native, self-service analytics solution that lets IT rapidly deliver query capabilities to BI analysts, enabling users to go from zero to query in minutes. It supports all data types, structured, semi-structured, unstructured, real-time, and batch, and scales cost-effectively from gigabytes to petabytes. It is fully integrated with streaming, data engineering, and AI services, and enforces a unified security, governance, and metadata framework across private, public, or hybrid cloud deployments. Each virtual warehouse (data warehouse or mart) is isolated and automatically configured and optimized, ensuring that workloads do not interfere with each other. Cloudera leverages open source engines such as Hive, Impala, Kudu, and Druid, along with tools like Hue and more, to handle diverse analytics, from dashboards and operational analytics to research and discovery over vast event or time-series data.
