Richard Calaba created KYLIN-1525:
-------------------------------------
Summary: XML/A for Kylin
Key: KYLIN-1525
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KYLIN-1525
Project: Kylin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Query Engine
Reporter: Richard Calaba
Assignee: liyang
It would be great if Kylin can be accessed also by standard OLAP tools
supporting XML/A so native OLAP queries can be raised by Kylin.
I have seen somewhere on the Internet the option to use Pentaho Mondrian with
some Kylin-patch to achieve this. However I found much simpler solution
open-sourced here - https://github.com/Wondersoft/olaper .
The idea would be to include the Olaper code-line and use it to generate Cubes
Query interface for XML/A directly in Kylin. Kylin knows both - the logical
structure of the Cube and the storage structure - that's excatly what is needed
for Olaper to make it work - you need JDBC Driver and then a 2 metadata files
(cube.json and table.json) to describe to the Olaper the logical and physical
cube structure ...
I believe that would be very powerful extension opening Kylin to other OLAP UI
tools (like Saiku i.e.). Today we just rely on Tableau UI consuming Kylin
through ODBC driver.
