Abstract:

In many big data applications, original data sources are dynamically translated and stored in a relational format. This can be done in order to better adapt to the existing analytical interfaces and to represent the data in a way that is conceptually closer to the endusers who often find it natural to operate with entities, their attributes and relations. This fact surely raises a significant challenge, but also a great opportunity in front of RDBMS systems specialized in data analytics. As a case study with this respect, we consider Infobright��?s database software which is used worldwide in a number of areas requiring massive data processing. We discuss its architecture that utilizes the principles of rough sets and granular computing in combination with columnar stores and parallel computing. We also outline its development directions aimed at further scalability improvements. Particularly, we concentrate on an idea of introducing a new form of approximate SQL which can open brand new possibilities for big data analytics, both with regard to information storage and processing.
