Tableau Software is “Certified on Spark”

Tableau’s integration with Spark brings tremendous value to the Spark community – users can visually analyze their data without writing a single line of Spark SQL code.

That’s a big deal because creating a visual interface to your data expands the Spark technology beyond data scientists and data engineers to all business users. The Spark connector takes advantage of Tableau’s flexible connection architecture that gives customers the option to connect live and issue interactive queries, or use Tableau’s fast in-memory database engine.
