Kudu Data Store =============== .. note:: GeoMesa currently supports Kudu version |kudu_version|. The GeoMesa Kudu Data Store is an implementation of the GeoTools ``DataStore`` interface that is backed by `Apache Kudu `__. It is found in the ``geomesa-kudu`` directory of the GeoMesa source distribution. .. pull-quote:: Apache Kudu completes Hadoop's storage layer to enable fast analytics on fast data. GeoMesa leverages Kudu predicate push-down, column selection, and more, all through the GeoTools API. The Kudu Data Store is a good choice for running Spark analytics on a few attributes at a time, as the columnar storage format minimizes the underlying data reads. In addition, due to Kudu's compression options and ability to rapidly query non-indexed columns, space on disk is minimized compared to more complex systems like HBase. .. warning:: The GeoMesa Kudu data store is an alpha-level feature, and hasn't been robustly tested at scale. To get started with the Kudu Data Store, try the :doc:`/tutorials/geomesa-quickstart-kudu` tutorial. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 install configuration index_config usage geoserver commandline spark visibilities
