Onehouse has unveiled Open Engines, a new platform capability that enables the deployment of open source engines atop open data, starting with Apache Flink, Trino, and Ray. This advance aims to dissolve the challenges of using open compute on open data, as expressed by CEO Vinoth Chandar, reflecting an industry shift towards openness. Analyst James Curtis praises this innovation, emphasizing that it promotes awareness of the need for diverse tools to address specific data problems, rather than relying on a single solution for all analytics requirements.
With Open Engines, Onehouse is now removing the final barrier to realizing a truly universal data lakehouse and finally flipping the defaultsâfor both data and computeâto open.
My first impression of Open Engines is that this a good thing. With its carefully curated choice of engines, Onehouse is raising enterprise awareness that not every problem is a nail and not every solution is a hammer.
The industry has made strides towards making data open with file formats ... we are still often restricted to closed compute because achieving open compute on open data is not as easy as it should be.
No engine excels with all data workloads. For example, Apache Spark is well-rounded, but not necessarily the best engine in any category.
