It is our pleasure to announce the 1.3.0 release of Apache Drill. This release includes a number new features as well as the typical plethora of improvements and bug fixes.
Highlights include: - Enhanced Amazon S3 Support - Support for Heterogeneous Types when querying JSON or MongoDB (experimental) - Support for CSV header parsing - Hive query planning performance improvements - Improvements in the RDBMS plugin for systems including MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle and Postgres - Capability to reset an SYSTEM or SESSION setting to its default - Merge Join improvements - Upgrade to the latest version of the Apache Parquet library Note: There is one backwards incompatible change with Drill 1.3 when using Drills CTAS with partitioning. You will need to rewrite your file partition metadata in order to continue to take advantage of Drill's automatic partition pruning capabilities. You can read more in the note here [1].
