Qbeast Open Source
Open source is about more than just code, it’s about creating a space where people from all backgrounds collaborate on building something great together.
Empowering a diverse community
and democratizing Big Data.
Qbeast Format
Based on Delta Lake format, Qbeast adds the necessary information to query efficiently
We organize the data in what we call “cubes”. Each cube’s elements are written in a single parquet file, allowing the query engine to filter out some of them before reading their content.
Qbeast Format
ACID properties
Multi-column index
Efficient sampling
Resource saving
Apache Spark Integration
Write on your favourite object storage
df.write.format("qbeast")
.option("columnsToIndex",
"your,columns")
.save("your-storage-path")(df.write.format("qbeast")
.option("columnsToIndex",
"your,columns")
.save("your-storage-path"))
Load the data onto a Spark Data Frame
val qbeastDf =
spark.read.format("qbeast")
.load("your-storage-path")(qbeastDf = spark.read.load
("your-storage-path",
format="qbeast"))
And query with sampling
qbeastDf.sample(0.1).showqbeastDf.sample(0.1).showqbeastDf.createOrReplaceTempView(
"qbeast_table")
spark.sql("SELECT * FROM
qbeast_table
TABLESAMPLE(1 PERCENT)")
