HAWQ supports row oriented format also (AO Table). For block storage & posix fs, I suspect you could use gpdb since gpdb uses local storage though probably a bit additional work is needed. For object storage (e.g. S3 interface), this is an interesting topic. There have been a JIRA for this though there are some debates about better solutions.
HAWQ-823 Amazon S3 External Table Support https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAWQ-823 2017-01-11 23:14 GMT+08:00 Dmitry Buzolin <[email protected]>: > Since HAWQ only depends on Hadoop and Parquet as a columnar format. I > would like to propose having Hawq having pluggable storage backends. > Hadoop is already supported but there is Ceph storage backend which offers > standard Posix compliant file system, object and a block storage. Ceph is > also is location aware and written in C++. I believe this is more important > than porting HAWQ to windows.
