Maximizing performance of Apache Kudu block cache with Intel Optane DCPMM
Intel Optane DC persistent memory (Optane DCPMM) has higher bandwidth and lower latency than SSD and HDD storage drives. These characteristics of Optane DCPMM provide a significant performance boost to big data storage platforms that can utilize it for caching. One of such platforms is Apache Kudu that can utilize DCPMM for its internal block cache.
