Superset

Provides a brief overview of Superset in HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software.

Superset is a cloud-native business intelligence web application that collects and processes large volumes of data that can be used in the data visualizations and dashboards that you create within it. Superset is accessible in HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software by going to BI Reporting > Dashboards or Tools & Frameworks > Data Engineering in the left navigation panel.

When you connect HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software to various data sources, you can access the data in those data sources from Superset. For example, you can create any type of chart in Superset and specify query conditions on a selected data set to visualize the query results in the chart. Superset works with EzPresto, the HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software accelerated SQL query engine, to process the query and display results in the chart. You can then add the chart to a dashboard and continue this process to build out a dashboard that visualizes your analytical workloads.

Underlying Superset and EzPresto is a Presto database that unifies the data sources connected to HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software. The unified data source connection enables you to:
  • Add the data sets you create in the HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software Data Engineering space to Superset.
  • Connect Superset directly to the Presto database for direct access to the unified data sources.

You can also connect Superset to external databases (those that are not part of the unified data source connection in HPE Ezmeral Unified Analytics Software).
