Saving Tableau workbooks into Hadoop

Question

I have a group be Tableau files .twbx files that I would like to store them into Hadoop. Is there a way to store them and then access them via Tableau desktop?

Answer 1

Again, you've got a couple options. In my setup, I keep my extracts on Tableau server and then have a daily task to push them to a Git repo; that's more for backup though.

If you're looking to store the active workbooks in the S3 bucket, you can configure Tableau Server with "worker nodes" to accomplish this. See the link to the Tableau Server Admin. Guide below, it's got an entire chapter on setting up a distributed server.

Answer 2

Tableau Server is probably what you're looking for here.
