Serving Structured Data in Alluxio

Alluxio 2.1.0 release introduces Structured Data Management (Developer Preview) This article is part one of the two articles on the Structured data Management feature my team worked on.

The primary reason for the preview is to use the new tool is to cache compute-optimized data.
