Chris Riccomini commented on SAMZA-390:
---------------------------------------
[~raulcf], thanks for writing this up!
bq. I am more in favor of a declarative DSL closer to SQL. I think this will
make Samza more appealing to wider group of users since most analysts prefer
SQL.
I agree with David about the argument for a SQL-like language, vs. a DSL. As
much as SQL might be annoying, it's very intuitive and popular. You can see
this playing out in the Hadoop world, where analysts are using SQL almost
exclusively, whether that be in Hive, Impala, Shark, Tajo, etc.
Just as for windowing semantics, choosing SQL vs. DSL does not mean the other
can't be done. Hadoop ended up with several versions of both, as well. In an
ideal world though, we'd at least have a very good polished SQL abstraction for
Samza.
