DATA TIERING ACROSS SYSTEMS

Big Data: SAP HANA + SAP IQ + Hadoop

Combine strengths of different data processing domains

SAP HANA

Dynamic Tiering

SAP IQ NLS/ADK

HADOOP

Hot Data

Warm Data

Cold/Frozen Data

Raw Data

Modern in-memory platform

Disk backed, smart column store

Not available for Native HANA

Transact/analyze in real-time

High performance and efficient

compression

Optimize data persistence in system

landscape by relocating infrequently
accessed data to SAP IQ

Native predictive, text, and

spatial algorithms

Transparent for all operations. No

changes required for BW operations
Excels at queries on structured data
from terabyte to petabyte scale
No data duplication

Less frequently accessed data is

archived in time partitions
The data in NLS partitions is static and
used primarily used for read access
NLS data resides in a highly
compressed state in cost- efficient
storage with fewer backups to reduce
operational costs

SDA remains a capability for

HIVE/Spark type scenarios
New with SP09 - Virtual UDF (vUDF)
New type of User Defined
Function for data federation
Direct access to HDFS without
need for the package, mapper,
and reducer specification
Invoke custom Map Reduce jobs
UDF can be embedded in SQL

Lower SLA requirements

SAP HANA DT
SAP HANA with dynamic tiering consists of two types of hosts:
Regular worker host (running classical HANA process:
index, name, daemon, xsserver, ect)

Hot data
HANA host can be single-node or scale-out (appliance or TDI)

One ES host (running name, daemon, esserver for

storing cold data)

Both use same storage (preferred to

enable auto-failover in the future)
One single SAP HANA database: one
SID, one instance number
All client communication happens
through index/ XS server

esserver is database process of the cold store

Use Case

Leverage SAP HANA Dynamic Tiering in SAP HANA native use cases with a tool based
approach to define aging rules on SAP HANA tables to optimize the memory footprint of data
in SAP HANA.
Functionalities

Define data slice/partitioning on SAP HANA

tables criteria to be moved to an extended
table or hadoop

Optimize union access between the tables

Automated Data Movement

Generated Stored Procedures to do data

mass movement in and out

Schedule data movement using HANA tasks
