Meet The Creator Of Apache Hudi
In this special episode of TFiR Insights for TFiR Series (register for free), we talked to Vinoth Chandar, Creator of Apache Hudi. Apache Hudi came into existence when Chandar was working at Uber, designing its overall data architecture. His team ran into a lot of foundational gaps with the traditional data lake architectures of the time. Hudi was created as database abstraction, or data lake storage, with which you can then interact with the query from all your existing major league query engines. Chandar will be participating in a panel discussion at TFiR Series and this interview covers some of his work. Vinoth Chandar, Creator of Apache Hudi
