- **Push computation to Hadoop.** The query optimizer makes a cost-based decision to push computation to Hadoop when doing so will improve query performance. It uses statistics on external tables to make the cost-based decision. Pushing computation creates MapReduce jobs and leverages Hadoop's distributed computational resources.

- **Scale compute resources.** To improve query performance, you can use SQL Server [PolyBase scale-out groups](../../relational-databases/polybase/polybase-scale-out-groups.md). This enables parallel data transfer between SQL Server instances and Hadoop nodes, and it adds compute resources for operating on the external data.
