Quill: Efficient, Transferable, and Rich Analytics at Scale

Summary: Quill is a cloud-native platform for scalable relational and temporal analytics. It introduces ShardedStreamable, a transferable abstraction decoupling incremental logic, data movement, and keying to enable offline/real-time plans; a master-less architecture with Trill integration scales to many nodes and yields orders-of-magnitude gains on temporal workloads over SparkSQL.
