Using QDS in Data Exploration

Use the QDS Explore page to search data from various sources. By default, you see the Qubole Hive database with the expanded default database.

Note

Clicking the Qubole logo on the QDS UI displays the Qubole homepage.

For access to your Cloud storage, and to adding an external data store, pull down the drop-down list next to Qubole Hive.

Note

Only a system administrator can add a data store; other users do not see the Add Data Store option.

• View data in Hive tables
