Qubole

aid: qubole
name: Qubole
description: Qubole is a cloud-native data lake platform (now part of Idera) that lets teams run multiple open-source data-processing
  engines - Apache Spark, Presto, Hive, Hadoop, and Airflow - together in a single, cost-optimized, self-managing environment
  across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The Qubole Data Service (QDS) automates
  cluster provisioning, autoscaling, and spot/preemptible instance management to reduce data-lake costs, and exposes a comprehensive
  REST API for submitting Hive/Presto/Spark/Hadoop commands, managing clusters, scheduling jobs, running notebooks and dashboards,
  and administering accounts, users, groups, and roles. First-party SDKs (Python qds-sdk, Java, and Ruby), the qds.py command-line
  tool, and the afctl Airflow CLI wrap the API. This profile was surfaced as a VC-portfolio lead and enriched by the API Evangelist
  pipeline against Qubole's live public documentation and package registries.

  note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list derived
    from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported mcp_server
    correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
