Varada supports text analytics with new optimized performance updates
Varada, the data lake query acceleration innovator, is providing a new capability within its flagship platform designed to support text analytics workloads and help data teams deliver faster time-to-insights.
Varada’s solution for interactive text analytics—integrated with the popular open source search engine Apache Lucene—works directly on the customer’s data lake and serves SQL data consumers out-of-the-box.
As a result, data teams can achieve maximum performance without moving data, duplicating, or modeling it, according to the vendor.
Varada’s addition of Lucene support within its solution delivers an integrated stack that performs and scales to exabytes of data on data lakes, making possible richer business insights.
Varada’s text analytics feature is easily deployed in the organization’s own environment, so the data is not duplicated and never leaves.
Plus, it incorporates all data from any source without modeling, which means data teams get “zero time to market” with results that are both thorough and precise.
Varada’s dynamic and adaptive indexing technology enables text analytics workloads to run at close to zero latency response time, especially on latency sensitive queries.
“Text analytics has been evolving from on-premises solutions to cloud-based solutions,” said Eran Vanounou, CEO at Varada. “These approaches were innovative when introduced, but they have become complex and expensive, especially given the wide range of analytics platforms and stacks. At Varada, we’re introducing the next era in text analytics with a solution that runs directly on top of the customer’s data lake and alongside other analytics workloads. For the first time, users can deploy a text analytics solution without having to move data to expensive systems and complex, proprietary data schemas.”
Varada’s adaptive and autonomous indexing technology leverages machine learning capabilities to dynamically accelerate queries to meet evolving business requirements.
Varada indexes data directly from the data lake across any columns. Based on the data type, structure, and distribution of data, Varada automatically creates an optimal index from a set of indexing algorithms including text-optimized search and index (based on Apache Lucene) as well as bitmap, dictionary, trees, etc.
Indexes also adapt to changes in data over time, which is critical for effective analytics anomaly detection across vast datasets.
Varada’s smart engine detects bottlenecks automatically and adjusts the cluster and acceleration techniques to ensure business requirements are met at the allocated budget.
