SQL Server 2016 improves the 2014 implementation of PolyBase by now allowing you to directly query data in Hadoop or Azure blob storage, and have the computation performed on Hadoop for optimized performance. You can use transact SQL to communicate between the non-relational databases such as Hadoo...
Polybase is a new feature with SQL 2016 that allows you to query external Hadoop data and data in Azure Blob Storage. It has been around for a little while in the Analytics Platform System appliance as a feature in Parallel Data Warehouse, but it now can be installed on SQL Server 2016....
