Hi, The cat is already out of the bag on Trafodion on this dlist (and we are very happy about it actually). But, here's an official announcement anyway.
Hewlett-Packard is pleased to announce the release of project Trafodion as an open source project. Trafodion is a transactional SQL engine that runs on top of HBase. Among the features it provides: -- Full-functioned ANSI SQL language support -- JDBC/ODBC connectivity for Linux/Windows clients -- ACID distributed transaction protection across multiple statements, tables and rows -- Performance improvements for OLTP workloads with compile-time and run-time optimizations -- Support for large data sets using a parallel-aware query optimizer If you'd like to know more, please visit our wiki, www.trafodion.org. Thanks, Dave Birdsall (for the Trafodion team)
