OLAP with Apache Phoenix and HBase

Some weeks ago a message was posted in the Apache Phoenix users mailing list requesting for examples of business intelligence visualization products that could be used with Phoenix. Apache Phoenix provides an SQL layer on top on HBase, as a JDBC client and a set of HBase coprocessors that enable the efficient execution of SQL queries by exploiting the parallelism offered by that mechanism. I suggested Saiku and an example configuration to connect Saiku to Phoenix,and I ended up being invited to write a guest post in Apache Phoenix's blog. Here you can find the result, a tutorial on using Phoenix and Saiku for implementing an OLAP system over HBase. Take a look if you're interested in using OLAP for performing flexible analysis and visualisation, over an horizontally scalable database like HBase.
