Does Kylin provide slicing and dicing capabilities on cubes? > Not sure what you mean, We can issue SQL on the cubes.
Does Kylin offer nesting dimensions or hierarchies? > Kylin does not support Snowflake schema, It is currently restricted to >Star. Other than SQL, can users use Kylin cube with drag and drop functionality (something similar to the OLAP cubes in the traditional world)? > No it is not possible. It has to be a tool built on Kylin.

Does Kylin provide role based security (who sees what data) and object level security (who sees which dimensions) > It provides basic security, you can grant permissions at the cube level, >but cannot do row level or column level security. Can existing HBase table be directly leveraged by Kylin for cubes and suppose the HBase table was not created from any Hive Star schema. > No, We define the table row format, so you cannot use existing tables.
