Can someone explain to me what Vora is?

SAP HANA Vora is an in-memory query engine with Apache Spark

Sandeep Agrawal
HANA Vora is query engine that essentially combines the performance of HANA with the scale of Hadoop

@raghu_nambiar what is the role Spark plays with Vora?

Vora is SAP's expansion of the HANA Data Platform for Big Data leveraging in-memory database technology
Hari Guleria
HANA is SAP's Big Data engine. VORA is the middleware that will make the connection to Hadoop seamless to SAP HANA

@RickSpeyer and @brianferrar let the explanation begin
Hari Guleria
VORA is how you enable Big-Data into integration into SAP HANA from velocity feeds of streaming data

Hadoop without Spark is like...
Richard Probst
HANA Vora leverages Spark, and adds HANA-like semantics. Result: you can have a single unified data model across HANA and Hadoop.

Vora bridges the gap between "HANA=traditional" and "Hadoop=new and emerging" -- imagine the possibilities of the combination

Hadoop without Spark is like a traditional disk-based database compared to an in-memory database -- there's no comparison!
