I suggest following to describe CarbonData in one setence.
Apache CarbonData(incubating) is a fully indexed columnar data format for
fast analytics on big data platform, e.g. Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, etc.
Reason: by nature, CarbonData files are indexed and columnar, and the goal
is make all analytics faster.
