Hi Luke and other Seniors,

I come from Big Data Center of excellence from an Indian IT major.

We have been experimenting with the idea of serving cubes through
ElasticSearch REST API. This is not related to Kylin. This is our own
internal development.

But, I would like to hear some feedback from the designers, architects and
developers in this forum. Thanks in advance for your time.

The motivation for this is --- Once the cube is built, it needs to be
served.

The query looks somewhat like this:
"Given ProductID=*, Year=2015, Fetch All Quantities Sold"
"Given ProductID=XX, Fetch how much it has sold every Month"
Find all entries that match K1=V1, K2=V2

This relieves us from lot of things - storage, REST API etc. and makes the
cubes easily searchable.

However, we don't do SQL/MDX on top of it.  Tableau 9.1Beta is
experimenting with Web-Data-Connector which we believe can be used for
Visualization... Apart from that, we experimented with a few
auto-generated Kibana dashboards which were just okay. But Kibana was not
designed for Cubes and so it has its own limitations.

I would love to hear some feedback from the architects regarding the
Pros/Cons of this approach.

Thanks,
Best,
Sarnath
