EdgeSet Manual
Preface
Welcome to the community of data-driven organizations.
As easy to use as a Data Science notebook. EdgeSet uses a simple and familiar notebook interface inspired by popular data science and analysis tools. Connecting to a data source is as simple as filling in the connection details. You can use the same SQL dialect to query any data source—even if the data source isn’t a SQL database.
As powerful as a Big Data cluster. EdgeSet can connect to any number of data sources and combine data from these sources in a single query. By pushing queries down to the sources, EdgeSet turns your scattered data sources into a distributed parallel data processing fabric.
