Yes this storage layer is something I have been investigating in my own lab for mixed load such as Lambda Architecture.
It offers the convenience of columnar RDBMS (much like Sybase IQ). Kudu tables look like those in SQL relational databases, each with a primary key made up of one or more columns that enforce uniqueness and acts as an index for efficient updates and deletes. Data is partitioned using what is known as tablets that make up tables. Kudu replicates these tablets to other nodes for redundancy. As you said there are a number of options. Kudu also claims in-place updates that needs to be tried for its consistency.
