The good thing about Qubole is that it uses popular open source technology frameworks such as Hadoop and Hive. This makes it easier for companies to get off the ground running. The service’s browser-based front-end interface is known as QPal. There are multiple tabs in the front end. For example, the composer tab enables you to run multiple commands across a range of platforms from Hive queries to Hadoop jobs to workflows. These commands can be run in multiple modes such as test run (which limits size of resulting data sets), constrained run (which runs the test between pre-defined time intervals). The Cluster tab provides you with the health of multiple clusters. Thus, you can run multiple jobs at the same time and track results for each job. You can also view schedules of multiple operations related to data retrieval and manipulation using the Schedules tab.
