Hi, Jim Thank you for your response. Actually, we start Palo in several years ago, and that time we developed the storage engine based on Mesa technology. Meanwhile we found Impala is a very good MPP SQL query engine, so we integrated them together.
With this integration, the goal of Palo is to implement a single, full-featured, mysql protocol compatible data warehousing.
