PolyBase is a technology that accesses and combines both non-relational and relational data, all from within SQL Server.
- In SQL Server 2016, PolyBase allows you to run queries on external data in Hadoop or Azure Blob Storage. Queries are optimized to push computation to Hadoop.
- In Analytics Platform System, you can import data from Azure Blob Storage.
- In Azure SQL Data Warehouse, you can import data from Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Store.
