We are happy to announce that Lingual 1.0 is now publicly available for download.
Lingual provides an ANSI SQL interface on Cascading for Apache Hadoop.
The purpose of Lingual is to ease migration of SQL based workloads onto Hadoop, and to simplify integration with Hadoop through standards based APIs.
All the while benefiting from the robustness of Cascading.
Key Features:
- ANSI SQL – A mature implementation of ANSI/ISO standard SQL-99
