Seamless Integration with BI Tools:
- Kylin currently offers integration capability with BI Tools like Tableau.
Other Highlights:
- Job Management and Monitoring
- Compression and Encoding Support
- Incremental Refresh of Cubes
- Leverage HBase Coprocessor for query latency
- Approximate Query Capability for distinct Count (HyperLogLog)
- Easy Web interface to manage, build, monitor and query cubes
- Security capability to set ACL at Cube/Project Level
- Support LDAP Integration
