Hortonworks collaborated with developers to enhance the platform for them; finding out what tools they use currently and what features they request. The initial focus was on the SQL developer and the most common tasks they perform. The integrated experience Hortonworks designed:

Build SQL queries
Provide a visual explain plan

The improvements related to SQL also included

enhanced semantics for working with Apache Hive, a data warehouse infrastructure for Hadoop. "Hive adds time intervals and UNION semantics, 2.5x performance improvements and improved query scheduling, along with a more streamlined user interface for Hive within Ambari," the company said.
