Kylin provides a script for you to create a sample Cube; the script will also create three sample hive tables:
- Run ${KYLIN_HOME}/bin/sample.sh ; Restart kylin server to flush the caches;
- Logon Kylin web with default user ADMIN/KYLIN, select project “learn_kylin” in the project dropdown list (left upper corner);
- Select the sample cube “kylin_sales_cube”, click “Actions” -> “Build”, pick up a date later than 2014-01-01 (to cover all 10000 sample records);
- Check the build progress in “Monitor” tab, until 100%;
- Execute SQLs in the “Insight” tab, for example:
select part_dt, sum(price) as total_selled, count(distinct seller_id) as sellers from kylin_sales group by part_dt order by part_dt - You can verify the query result and compare the response time with hive;
What’s next
You can create another cube with the sample tables, by following the tutorials.
