Hi All, Recently, ZEPPELIN-753 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-753> (Tabledata abstraction) and ZEPPELIN-2020 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-2020> (Remote method invocation for resources) were resolved. Based on this work, we can improve Zeppelin with the following enhancements:
* register the table result as a shared resource * list all available (registered) tables * preview tables including its meta information (e.g columns, types, ..) * download registered tables as CSV, and other formats. * pivoting/filtering in backend to transforming larger data * cross join tables in different interpreters (e.g Spark interpreter uses a table result generated from JDBC interpreter) You can find the full proposal in Extending Table Data API <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZEPPELIN/Proposal%3A+Extending+TableData+API> which is contributed by @1ambda, @khalidhuseynov, @Leemoonsoo. Any question, feedback or discussion will be welcomed. Thanks.
