Apache Kylin is an open source distributed analytics engine that originated at ebay, Inc. and provides a SQL-interface and multi-dimensional analysis for online analytical processing. Kylin was recently accepted by the Apache Software Foundation as an incubator project and already has a number of integrations with HDFS, MapReduce, Hive, HBase and Apache Drill.

This session will provide an overview about Apache Kylin, how it works, what it does and will give an introduction to Online Analytical Processing (OLAP), how Business Intelligence works and how Kylin + Hadoop can help in analyzing extremely large datasets.
