Development and analysis

Data types

MaxCompute supports three data type editions. Understanding which edition applies to your project is important — using an unsupported data type causes parsing failures during data development.

Job development

MaxCompute supports seven computing models:

For data outside MaxCompute internal tables, use external tables. MaxCompute also provides an SDK for Java, an SDK for Python, and a JDBC interface for programmatic access.

Practice: Use IntelliJ IDEA to develop a Java UDF
