The Aster in-database MapReduce framework lets you develop functions and run them in close proximity to their input data sources, enabling you to analyze large data sets efficiently. Aster in-database MapReduce provides these main features:
- SQL-MapReduce: The Aster In-Database MapReduce framework, known as SQL-MapReduce, allows you to write and upload your own functions and run them in parallel on an Aster instance for efficient data analysis.
- Stream API: The Aster Stream API allows you to run scripts and functions written in other languages including Python, Ruby, Perl, and C#.
