Apache Drill

Abstract: Drill (inspired by Google Dremel) is now a top-level Apache project with a high degree of interest from the community. In addition to providing an SQL interface to Hadoop, it can connect more broadly to other data sources. It’s less about making files look like relational tables and more about using SQL as a skeleton key to read files in their native form. At this meeting, MapR will present a live demonstration leveraging multiple data sets, showcasing the value of Drill. The demonstration will walk through a real world use case where both discovery and data analytics are required in a self-serve manner.
