Creating a Data Visualization instance in CDW
Learn how to create a Cloudera Data Visualization (CDV) instance in the Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) data service. You can use CDV with CDW either in the CDP Public Cloud or with the CDP Private Cloud Data Service to explore the data stored in the database catalogs and communicate insights across the whole data lifecycle by using visual objects.
If you want to visualize your data, you have to create a Data Visualization instance and connect it to Hive or Impala Virtual Warehouse(s) to be able to create visuals. Data Visualization is not tied to a particular Virtual Warehouse (VW). You can access data for your visualization from multiple Data Catalogs using multiple Hive or Impala Virtual Warehouses and multiple environments. With multiple Data Visualization instances attached to an environment, you can connect to different data sets, create dashboards for different groups and share them with different users. When you delete a Virtual Warehouse, your visual artifacts remain intact as long as the CDV instance is not deleted.
