Difference between Derby and Impala

1. Derby :
Derby is a open source relational database management system. It is developed by Apache Software Foundation in 1997. It is written and implemented completely in the Java programming language. The primary database model of Derby is Relational DBMS. All OS with a Java VM are server operating system. It provides users fine grained access rights according to SQL-standard and with a small-footprint standards-based database engine that can be tightly embedded into any Java based solution.

2. Impala :
Impala is a query engine that runs on Hadoop. It is an open source software and massively parallel processing SQL query engine. It supports in-memory data processing. It is pioneering the use of the Parquet file format, a columnar storage layout that is optimized for large-scale queries typical in data warehouse scenarios. It provides high-performance, low-latency SQL queries and also offers interactive query processing on data stored in Hadoop file formats.
