The rise of connected devices, unstructured event data and ever-decreasing hardware prices has caused a Big Data boom. Solutions built on commodity hardware, such as Hadoop and HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System), were developed to land machine-born, semi-structured data and deliver insights. This created new opportunities for generating value, but it has come at the cost of added complexity to enterprise data solutions. With the additional data also came the problem of having two or more disjoint datasets, some relational in SQL Server and some non-relational in HDFS. If a data analyst wanted to combine relational data with semi-structured data, they had to spend time and resources copying the data from one environment into the other, ultimately slowing the time to insight.<\/p>\n<p>With PolyBase in SQL Server 2016, the days of disjoint relational and semi-structured data are over. <strong>With the combination of PolyBase and T-SQL, users can query data stored in HDFS as if it is local to the SQL Server, enabling a wide variety of new insights and scenarios.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"PolyBase and T-SQL combo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql-server\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/PolyBase-and-T-SQL-combo.png\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"PolyBase and T-SQL combo\" width=\"610\" height=\"309\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Key scenarios<\/h2>\n<p>Because PolyBase allows you to interact with both SQL Server and Hadoop, three new scenarios are possible:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ad hoc query of data stored in Hadoop and SQL Server 2016 using T-SQL<\/li>\n<li>Import data from Hadoop or Azure blob storage into SQL Server 2016<\/li>\n<li>Export \u201ccold\u201d relational data to Hadoop or Azure blob storage while keeping it query-able<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you run ad hoc queries over Hadoop data, PolyBase can intelligently leverage the compute resources of Hadoop. PolyBase can make a cost-based decision to push-down computation to Hadoop by generating MapReduce jobs on-the-fly, delivering the most optimal performance for your queries.<\/p>\n<h2>PolyBase: Bringing it all together<\/h2>\n<p>PolyBase extends the data footprint available for T-SQL queries by creating a structured definition in SQL Server of the semi-structured data stored in Hadoop and Azure blob storage. Once the structure is set up, users can interact with the data in nearly* the same way as data stored in SQL Server.<\/p>\n<p>The three new data definition language (DDL) statements needed to structure external data are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/msdn.microsoft.com\/en-US\/library\/dn935022.aspx?wt.mc_id=WW_CE_DM_OO_BLOG_NONE\">Create External Data Source<\/a>: Hadoop or Azure blob storage?

Rather than increasing the size of a single node, SQL Server 2016 introduces PolyBase scale-out groups as a method of distributing a query across multiple SQL Server instances, enabling parallelized computation and data ingestion. A scale-out group is composed of a head node, which users submit queries to and that holds the relational data for the query, and compute nodes, which parallelize the ingestion and computation of the data. Compute nodes are free to process other workloads while also being part of a PolyBase scale-out group.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"Compute Nodes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql-server\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Compute-Nodes.png\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Compute Nodes\" width=\"610\" height=\"379\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Extra resources<\/h2>\n<p>Interested in getting started with all of the capabilities PolyBase for SQL Server 2016 offers?
