Drill Demo - Time to Query complex data instantly on Hadoop

Abstract: Learn the basics of Apache Drill, from installing the tool to running your first query within minutes. The demo will show users how to install and setup instantly and start getting value out of data on their computers. For Drill queries, the data can be in any format or could be from any data source - including JSON, CSV, HBase or even MongoDB data.

The talk will also cover interesting use cases and code snippets to query different data formats and data sources in a self service fashion without going through the pain of creating centralized schemas or metadata stores.

Check it out and help us build something amazing!

Thanks,
