Apache Drill is an open source, low-latency query engine for Hadoop that delivers secure, interactive SQL analytics at petabyte scale. With the ability to discover schemas on-the-fly, Drill is a pioneer in delivering self-service data exploration capabilities on data stored in multiple formats in files or NoSQL databases. By adhering to ANSI SQL standards, Drill does not require a learning curve and integrates seamlessly with visualization tools. Source
Hi Neeraj - Thanks for the post. Since current HDP doesn't ship with Drill , would it be reasonable to expect using the Drill ODBC Driver for HBASE Connectivity from Excel and other BI tools ? ( though its more of a MAPR Focus?) I would rather maintain one ODBC Driver vs having Drill for HBASE and HDP ODBC for Hive.
