SAP adds new features to Vora and readies a cloud version
SAP has added some new capabilities to SAP Vora, its in-memory distributed computing system based on Apache Spark and Hadoop.
Version 1.3 of Vora includes a number of new distributed, in-memory data-processing engines, which accelerate complex processing, including ones for time-series data, graph data and schema-less JSON data.
Common uses for the graph engine might be analyzing social graphs or supply chain graphs, said Ken Tsai, SAP's head of product marketing for database and data management.
One application that would benefit from the new time-series engine is looking for patterns of electricity consumption in smart metering data.
