Sempala
Sempala is a SPARQL-over-SQL approach to provide interactive-time SPARQL query processing on Hadoop. It stores RDF data in a columnar layout (Parquet) on HDFS and uses Impala, a massive parallel processing (MPP) SQL query engine for Hadoop, as the execution layer on top of it. SPARQL queries are translated into Impala SQL for execution.Related Publications

Requirements
- Apache Hadoop, we recommend Cloudera's Distribution of Hadoop CDH, the implementation is tested with CDH 4.5
- Cloudera Impala, included in CDH
- RDF data in (extended) N-Triples format. Beyond the syntax of N-Triples it also supports the most commonly used Prefixes as well as the Prefixes used in the SP2Bench, LUBM and BSBM benchmarks.
