Traditional OLAP Tools

Challenges in the Big Data Era
Traditional OLAP Tools Are Great but…
• Difficult to handle massive data volumes
• Cube size limited by a single machine
• Have to maintain lots of cubes
• Hard to scale
• Takes a long time to build cubes
• Number of dimensions is limited

Cubes in a single machine
Cubes distributed in
