    What are some alternatives to Apache Kylin and Druid?
    Apache Spark
    Spark is a fast and general processing engine compatible with Hadoop data. It can run in Hadoop clusters through YARN or Spark's standalone mode, and it can process data in HDFS, HBase, Cassandra, Hive, and any Hadoop InputFormat. It is designed to perform both batch processing (similar to MapReduce) and new workloads like streaming, interactive queries, and machine learning.
    Presto
    Distributed SQL Query Engine for Big Data
    Apache Impala
    Impala is a modern, open source, MPP SQL query engine for Apache Hadoop. Impala is shipped by Cloudera, MapR, and Amazon. With Impala, you can query data, whether stored in HDFS or Apache HBase – including SELECT, JOIN, and aggregate functions – in real time.
    AtScale
    Its Virtual Data Warehouse delivers performance, security and agility to exceed the demands of modern-day operational analytics.
    Clickhouse
    It allows analysis of data that is updated in real time. It offers instant results in most cases: the data is processed faster than it takes to create a query.
