  * **Read Optimized View** - Provides excellent query performance via purely columnar storage (e.g. [Parquet](https://parquet.apache.org/))
  * **Incremental View** - Provides a change stream with records inserted or updated after a point in time.
- * **Real time View** - Provides queries on real-time data, using a combination of columnar & row based storage (e.g Parquet + [Avro](http://avro.apache.org/docs/current/mr.html))
