HeatWave Lakehouse

HeatWave Lakehouse lets you query data in object storage with unmatched performance and price-performance—and automatically build, train, and explain machine learning (ML) models. It’s available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure.

Why use HeatWave Lakehouse?

  • Query data in object storage

    HeatWave is a scale-out data processing engine optimized to query data in object storage. You can query structured data, semi-structured data in JSON format, and unstructured documents with HeatWave Vector Store.

  • Get the best performance and price-performance

    Price-performance is significantly better.

  • Use built-in ML with all your data

    Automate the pipeline to build, train, deploy, and explain ML models using data in object storage and MySQL Database, without moving the data to a separate ML cloud service and at no additional cost.

How HeatWave Lakehouse works

HeatWave Lakehouse processes data in a variety of file formats, including CSV, Parquet, Avro, JSON, and exports from other databases. You can query data in object storage and optionally combine it with transactional data in MySQL databases. With HeatWave Vector Store, you can upload and query unstructured documents. Data loaded into the HeatWave cluster for processing is automatically transformed into the HeatWave in-memory format, and object storage data isn’t copied to the MySQL database. You can also take advantage of HeatWave AutoML, a built-in feature that automates the pipeline to build, train, and explain ML models using data in object storage, the database, or both. There’s no need to move the data to a separate ML cloud service, and there’s no need to be an ML expert.

How Heatwave Lakehouse works diagram, details below:
Transactional data in MySQL Database as well as object storage data in a variety of file formats, such as CSV, Parquet, Avro, JSON, and exports from other databases is replicated in real-time into the HeatWave Cluster, enabling customers to get real-time analytics across all this data. Since machine learning capabilities are built in HeatWave, customers can also use data from the database and object storage to build, train, deploy, and explain machine learning models.

Customer perspectives on HeatWave Lakehouse

  • “HeatWave Lakehouse scales out very well for loading data from object storage and for running queries on object store. The load time and the query times are nearly constant as the size of the data grows and the HeatWave cluster size grows correspondingly. This scale out characteristic of HeatWave Lakehouse for data management is key to efficiently processing very large amounts of data.”

    —Henry Tullis, Leader, Cloud Infrastructure and Engineering, Deloitte Consulting

  • “Data is growing exponentially and so is the amount of data we store in our data lake. The ability to use standard MySQL syntax to query data across our database and object storage to get real-time insights is very important for Natura. This opens up new opportunities to explore and could represent new competitive advantages if we can analyze all this data faster than our competition.”

    —Fabricio Rucci, Solution Architect at Natura &Co

  • “HeatWave Lakehouse allows us to easily and quickly load data on object storage into HeatWave and combine it with MySQL data for analysis.”

    —Takashi Kinoshita, Chief Producer, e-Book Division, NTT SOLMARE Corporation
