Easy
With its Python integration, SociaLite queries can be simply extended with Python functions.
The interactive shell makes it convenient to execute queries and examine the result.
Fast
SociaLite queries are compiled to highly optimized parallel code.
The compiled code can be up to 1000x faster than equivalent Hadoop programs.
Hadoop-friendly
SociaLite is compatible with Hadoop with its HDFS inferfaces. Integration with YARN is planned, and being worked on.
