We would like to announce that YSmart Release 12.01 (effectively version 0.1) is available. YSmart is a software that translates an SQL query to Hadoop Java programs. Compared to other existing SQL-to-MapReduce translators, YSmart has the following advantages:
(1) High Performance: YSmart can detect and exploit the intra-query correlations to generate optimized Hadoop programs for very complex analytical queries. (2) High Extensibility: The major part of YSmart is written in Python. Due to its modularity and script nature, users can easily add new functionalities to YSmart. (3) High Flexibility: YSmart can run in a translation-only mode or in a total-solution mode. Users can easily read, modify, and customize the generated Java codes. The release is made available under the Apache 2.0 license. In addition, we also provide an online version of YSmart, which can allow users to quickly try YSmart. The online version is a web page where you can submit your query and get the translated Java codes. The homepage of YSmart is http://ysmart.cse.ohio-state.edu.
