    It works great for any use case that requires high throughput for reads and writes, for key-value kinda data. This enables you to use it for usecases where you need to retain data for a long term or even short term but then use it in pipelines to enrich data, sync states between backend and frontend or to quickly lookup say a user.

    Qubole
    I find Qubole is well suited for getting started analyzing data in the cloud without being locked in to a specific cloud vendor's tooling other than the underlying filesystem. Since the data itself is not isolated to any Qubole cluster, it can be easily be collected back into a cloud-vendor's specific tools for further analysis, therefore I find it complementary to any offerings such as Amazon EMR or Google DataProc.

    Pros
    Google
    • Analytics: is at Google's heart. No on can beat Google in this space and BigTable is one of its implementation of this. The insights you gain from BigTable are simply usable in your day to day activities and can help you make real difference.
    • Speed: Processing TBs and PBs of data under minutes needs real efficient platform which is capable of doing much more than just processing data. All this data cannot be processed by a single machine, but rather huge pairs of machines working in conjuction with each other. BigTable's implementation is one of the finest and allows you achieve great speeds!
    • Interface: is great. Google has segregated required task under logically placed buttons which takes no time by users to understand and get habituated.

    Qubole
    • From a UI perspective, I find Qubole's closest comparison to Cloudera's HUE; it provides a one-stop shop for all data browsing and querying needs.
    • Auto scaling groups and auto-terminating clusters provides cost savings for idle resources.
    • Qubole fits itself well into the open-source data science market by providing a choice of tools that aren't tied to a specific cloud vendor.

    Qubole
    • Providing an open selection of all cloud provider instance types with no explanation as to their ideal use cases causes too much confusion for new users setting up a new cluster. For example, not everyone knows that Amazon's R or X-series models are memory optimized, while the C and M-series are for general computation.
    • I would like to see more ETL tools provided other than DistCP that allow one to move data between Hadoop Filesystems.
    • From the cluster administration side, onboarding of new users for large companies seems troublesome, especially when trying to create individual cluster per team within the company. Having the ability to debug and share code/queries between users of other teams / clusters should also be possible.

    Personally, I have no issues using Amazon EMR with Hue and Zeppelin, for example, for data science and exploratory analysis. The benefits to using Qubole are that it offers additional tooling that may not be available in other cloud providers without manual installation and also offers auto-terminating instances and scaling groups.

    Usability
    Google
    For big IT firms like us, data is very important and it only holds its value if it can make sense to us. Therefore, Bigtable's usability is priceless when it comes to decision making based on data.

    As a hosted solution, that can be managed easily from the Google cloud platform, it enables the teams to think about business use cases vs thinking about the management of the database itself. It is easily to scale it up when you need more throughput or storage. This keeps the developers and the product folks happy.

    Qubole was decided on by upper management rather than these competitive offerings. I find that Databricks has a better Spark offering compared to Qubole's Zeppelin notebooks.

    Qubole
    • We like to say that Qubole has allowed for "data democratization", meaning that each team is responsible for their own set of tooling and use cases rather than being limited by versions established by products such as Hortonworks HDP or Cloudera CDH
    • One negative impact is that users have over-provisioned clusters without realizing it, and end up paying for it. When setting up a new cluster, there are too many choices to pick from, and data scientists may not understand the instance types or hardware specs for the datasets they need to operate on.
