AB When exploring big amounts of data without a clear target, providing an interactive experiencebecomes really dif cult, since this tentative inspection usually defeats any early decision on data structuresor indexing strategies. This is also true in the physics domain, speci cally in high-energy physics, wherethe huge volume of data generated by the detectors are normally explored via C++ code using batchprocessing, which introduces a considerable latency. An interactive tool, when integrated into the existingdata management systems, can add a great value to the usability of these platforms. Here, we intend toreview the current state-of-the-art of interactive data exploration, aiming at satisfying three requirements:access to raw data  les, stored in a distributed environment, and with a reasonably low latency. This paperfollows the guidelines for systematic mapping studies, which is well suited for gathering and classifyingavailable studies.We summarize the results after classifying the 242 papers that passed our inclusion criteria.While there are many proposed solutions that tackle the problem in different manners, there is little evidenceavailable about their implementation in practice. Almost all of the solutions found by this paper cover asubset of our requirements, with only one partially satisfying the three. The solutions for data explorationabound. It is an active research area and, considering the continuous growth of data volume and variety,is only to become harder. There is a niche for research on a solution that covers our requirements, and therequired building blocks are there.
