The HANA Native Query Engine for Lakehouse Systems

Summary: Adapts SAP HANA Cloud into a SQL-on-Files engine for scalable analytics directly over remote Parquet/Iceberg/Delta lakehouse data. Its architecture, optimizer, and caching favor direct access over pushdown, yielding superior performance on complex warehouse workloads. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
