You seem to have a pretty typical use case that we&#x27;re targeting. One thing to understand about Kudu is that it doesn&#x27;t run queries, it only stores the data. You can use Impala or Drill, they&#x27;ll figure out the locality and apply the aggregations properly&#x2F;push down the filters to Kudu.<p>Did you initially pick ES over systems like Impala because of the lack real time inserts&#x2F;updates when used with HDFS?<p>BTW, here&#x27;s a presentation that might help you understand Kudu: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.slideshare.net&#x2F;jdcryans&#x2F;kudu-resolving-transactional-and-analytic-tradeoffs-in-hadoop" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.slideshare.net&#x2F;jdcryans&#x2F;kudu-resolving-transactio...</a>
