  • 1.  Optional Data source for Pentaho Analyzer (Drag & Drop solution)

    Posted 12-07-2021 04:46
    Hello,

    We use Pentaho Analyser reports, which use cubes defined in Mondrian schema connected to Ignite DB.
    I'd like to know, what other kind of data source options we have for Analyser Reports.
    Can we use for example Cassandra or Rest Endpoint directly?

    PS: Should this question be here or do I need to move it to Pentaho Community?

    Thank you and regards.

    Mondrian will generally support anything you can connect to via JDBC and that supports SQL (it issues SQL commands to get data before building the cube).

    So it looks that we need to use for example PDI to tranfer data from Cassandra or Rest Endpoint and store them to Analyzer supported JDBC solution.

    That's right and you'll get the best query performance when you use Analyzer+Mondrian on top of a relational database with an existing SQL dialect such as Snowflake or Google BigQuery.  Here are all the available dialects:

    If one doesn't exist such as a Dremio dialect, you can always add your own to Mondrian.
