Open Data Format

The 'External Systems Plug-in' provides the functionality to synchronize workbooks in Hive. Data duplication from Datameer X to Hive is avoided and Hive creates external tables, that point back to the workbooks, which are managed and synchronized by Datameer. This reduces the amount of cluster resources used to just what is required for the workbook and import jobs to run.

Support for Hortonworks HDP 3.1.0

Datameer X now supports Hortonworks HDP 3.1.0 for Datameer X versions 7.4 and higher.

Import Storage Format

Datameer X now uses Parquet as its default storage format. So all import gets converted into the Parquet file format.

Improved Workbook Saving

When creating a workbook from anywhere in Datameer , X it gets saved in your home folder with a default name.

You can rename and move an existing workbook within your file browser. The content remains the same while only the name and saving location changes.

You can duplicate a workbook within your file browser. The content of the original workbook remains the same while you can save and edit the content of the duplicate.

Closing New Workbook with Content

Closing an opened workbook with content, which has not been renamed or moved for the first time, opens the 'Rename and Move' dialog to save the workbook. Otherwise the workbook is named 'Workbook' as default.

Closing an open workbook with content, being in 'File Browser' or another workbook, the 'Rename and Move' dialog appears.

Closing New Workbook without Content

Closing an empty workbook, which is saved under default name and location, the workbook is deleted automatically.

Closing an empty workbook, which is saved under default name and location, being in 'File Browser' or another workbook, the empty workbook is deleted automatically.

Quick Column Sorting

You can now sort the columns of a worksheet directly in the worksheet. Sorting is reflected in the "Sort Dialog". You can also edit and remove the sorting criteria.

Workbook Production Mode

The Workbook Production Mode accelerates performance by excluding sample generation and column statistics production to reduce resource usage. Production mode is intended for data pipelines that have been tested and refined to the point that a workbook can be scheduled and run without further modification.

Support for Export to Tableau Hyper Format

Datameer X now supports exports to Tableau version 10.5 using the Tableau Hyper format.

Join Operation Computes Parallel Inputs

A join of two data links now computes inputs in parallel to prevent the creation of too many DAG(s) on the cluster, and the Map-Side join picks the smallest of the two inputs to cache in memory.
