BigDAWG Polystore Release and Demonstration

Abstract: The Intel Science and Technology Center for Big Data is developing a reference implementation of a Polystore database. The BigDAWG (Big Data Working Group) system supports "many sizes" of database engines, multiple programming languages and complex analytics for a variety of workloads. Our recent efforts include application of BigDAWG to an ocean metagenomics problem and containerization of BigDAWG. We intend to release an open source BigDAWG v1.0 in the Spring of 2017. In this article, we will demonstrate a number of polystore applications developed with oceanographic researchers at MIT and describe our forthcoming open source release of the BigDAWG system.
