Hi Josh, thank you for response! Our cluster has 14 nodes (32 cores each/128 GB memory). The source Phoenix table contains about 1 billion records (100 columns). We start a Spark's job with about 100 executors. Spark executes SELECT from the source table (select 6 columns with DISTINCT) and writes down output to another Phoenix table. Expected that the target table will contains about 100 million records. HBase has 14 region servers, both tables salted with SALT_BUCKETS=42. Spark's job running via Yarn.

Also, what versions of software are you using? I don't think there are any firm guidelines on how you can solve this problem, but you've found the tools available for you. * You can try Phoenix+Spark to run over the Phoenix tables in place * You can use Phoenix+Hive to offload the data into Hive for queries If Phoenix-Spark wasn't fast enough, I'd imagine using the Phoenix-Hive integration to query the data would be similarly not fast enough. It's possible that the bottleneck is something we could fix in the integration, or fix configuration of Spark and/or Phoenix. We'd need you to help quantify this better :) On 3/4/18 6:08 AM, Stepan Migunov wrote: > In our software we need to combine fast interactive access to the data > with quite complex data processing.
