Creating a SQL Server 2019 Big Data Cluster
SQL Server 2019 Big Data Clusters represents a new feature of the SQL Server platform, combining specific services and resources used in efficiently managing and analyzing very large sets of mostly non-relational data, and allowing it to be used alongside relational data hosted in SQL Server databases. To achieve these principal objectives, Big Data Clusters implement a highly scalable big-data storage (HDFS) system, highly versatile querying capabilities (Spark), the power of distributed computing (Kubernetes), and a data virtualization infrastructure (PolyBase).
To deploy all the required features that represent a single Big Data Clusters instance, you can use multiple physical—or virtual—machines that can either be hosted on premises or in the cloud.
As we do not want you to carry the burden of providing the necessary infrastructure to host the Big Data Cluster instance yourself, you are going to make use of the Azure...
