Karmasphere 2.0

The Data Analyst's Workspace for Hadoop

Features of Karmasphere 2.0

Karmasphere provides a comprehensive environment where analysts and business users can find, analyze, and collaborate on Big Data. Built on open, extensible standards, Karmasphere 2.0 offers an easy-to-use interface with self-service access, allowing everyone in the enterprise to rapidly gain insights from Big Data in Hadoop without the aid of IT.

Collaborative Workspace

Mag
1
Project Creation
Create projects and invite members to collaborate on business problems. Restrict analytical asset access to members only.
Mag
2
Personalized Home Page
Collaborate on Big Data analytics. Manage projects, monitor activities, schedule queries, view results, and create visualizations.
Mag
3
Sharing and Publishing
Share and reuse analytical assets defined in the context of a project.
Mag
4
Notification and Coordination
Set notifications to suit your workflow – communicate recent project changes and other activities, notify project members of actions and events, and more.

Self-Service

Mag
1
Personalized Workspace
Configure your workspace for your job title. Personalization accommodates users that demand different, yet complementary, capabilities.
Mag
2
Data Wrangling
Use self-service wizards to quickly and easily transform raw data from disparate sources and make it available for query and analysis.
Mag
3
Ad Hoc Query Execution
Perform ad-hoc queries and analysis using simple web forms and parameterized queries.
Mag
4
Data Exploration
Explore tables and datasets before starting your analysis. Get the context behind your data and identify its outliers ahead of time.

Multi-Role and User Model

Everyone working with Big Data needs something different – from administrators to analysts to business users. Karmasphere provides the ability to customize the experience, with fine-grained role-based control over access and functionality for each user.

Iterative SQL Analysis

Mag
1
Syntax Highlighting and Code Completion
Eliminate time lost to inaccurate queries with smart query composition. Only syntactically correct and well-formed queries are submitted to the Hadoop cluster.
Mag
2
Parallel and Multiple Queries
Be more productive with unique parallel query capability that streamlines the otherwise serial/batch environment offered by standard Hadoop and Hive implementations.
Mag
3
Sort and Filter Result Sets
Explore query outcomes of result sets with sort and filter capabilities.
Mag
4
Query History
Get quick access to revision paths through query history.
Mag
5
Build and Share Visualizations
Validate insights by creating visualizations from result sets, then saving and sharing those results. Create pie, line, bar, column, and scatter charts or export result-sets tools such as Tableau and Spotfire.
Mag
6
View and Save Result Sets
Gain quick access to query history with result sets.

Advanced Analytics

Karmasphere puts data science capabilities in the hands of analysts. Write SQL scripts that call sophisticated ready-to-use analytic models, algorithms, and functions developed in MapReduce, SPSS, SAS, and other analytic languages. Perform analytical functions, such as windowing, first value, and correlation, and data manipulation functions like conversion and data transformation. Take advantage of column-level statistics and data exploration capabilities, as well as custom functions and algorithms that can be imported and called by SQL.

Security

Keep your analytics assets safe with Karmasphere 2.0. The security model in Karmasphere 2.0 builds on the access and security restrictions defined in Hadoop. Multi-level security ensures that only authorized users have access to your assets. Control who has access to data, and who can collaborate, by assigning project-based access to defined user groups. Karmasphere 2.0 allows you to set up different projects for different groups to keep access to assets, including tables, queries, results, and visualizations, secure. This enables worry-free collaboration in environments where Hadoop is a shared resource.

Analytics Asset Management

Mag
1
Save and Share Content
Save analytics assets in a central Karmasphere repository for re-use and sharing with other team members.
Mag
2
Browse Content
Maintain growing collections of analytic assets –including queries, results, visualizations, algorithms, analytic models, and functions – for any authorized user to explore and use.
Mag
3
Deploy Custom Functions and Data Format Parsers
Deploy UDFs (User-Defined Formats) and data format parsers (serdes/serializer-de-serializers) in a central location for analysts to use.
Mag
4
Create Assets
Create queries, result sets, and visualizations to get directly to insights and put them into action.

Sharing, Scheduling, and Integrating Insights

Mag
1
Schedule Queries
Direct query results to an EDW, JDBC RDBMs, or BI tools such as Jaspersoft, Tableau and Spotfire.
Mag
2
Export Insights
Save analytics assets in a central Karmasphere repository for re-use and sharing with other team members.
Mag
3
Set Query Parameters
Set parameters and share queries with others by entering variables in an easy-to-use web form.
Mag
4
Use Microsoft Excel, Tableau, TIBCO Spotfire and other BI Tools
Save results as files or export them (either on-demand or through scheduled actions) into any JDBC-compliant data store.

Administration

Karmasphere 2.0 provides a console for an administrator to perform system-wide management and configuration, user management, Hadoop connection management, database connection management and analytics asset management.
