Apache Zeppelin is a browser-based notebook for interactive data analysis, visualisation and collaboration. It combines executable code, explanatory text and graphical results within documents that can be shared with other users.
The application is particularly useful for working with Apache Spark and other data-processing systems. Its interpreter architecture allows notebooks to execute code in different languages and communicate with external databases and analytical engines.
Zeppelin provides an environment for exploratory analysis as well as presenting completed results. Analysts can work with SQL, Python, Scala and other languages, while charts, tables and input forms make the information accessible to colleagues who do not need to understand every underlying query.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
