- Is there druid integration? Is this a replacement for druid? - How does schema inference work? - Can I do SQL queries? - How is this better than superset?
Integrating into a larger enterprise data dictionary would be nice. Eg, amazon glue
This is really a big data visualization tool. There's a whole gigantic rich market there to capture. You seem to be looking at it from the perspective of csv files, which is a fresh take, I guess.
It's also unfortunately a very competitive space being worked on by folks with insanely deep pockets and hyper smart engineers: https://www.newgenapps.com/blog/10-big-data-visualization-to...
Still, a lot of what's out there is ungainly bloat ware meant for business logic data. If you target specific engineering/science verticals with clear use cases, it would compete.
This creates some interesting technical challenges. We implemented a custom visualisation engine that efficiently displays only the data that fits the screen. In the same way, we also support applying functions such as low-pass filters, integrals, derivatives, etc.
Having a visual approach to analysing data is in our opinion still highly underrated. Common engineering tools such as Matlab or python+matplotlib scripts require you to reduce the number of samples yourself. And you end up with a plot that is not interactive: zooming, panning highlighting, adding a different signal are all cumbersome or impossible. Marple treats interactivity as a first class citizen.
We recently launched a beta version and we're currently looking for test users to try it out. If you sometimes need to visualise some data from a .csv file, python script, matlab script, simulation, ... you should give it a spin!
