Hi, I'm having a go at adding a format plugin to Drill and would like to be able to access the where clause of a running query in order to skip through a large data file (currently our data files are in 1 hour chunks and can be hundreds of MBs).
In my use case the where clause would contain a "between" clause that I could use to skip/filter rows based on a timestamp column. I can't see anywhere in the various contexts that a format plugin has access to that the query AST or something similar is held. Is that something that drill could ever support? thanks Lee [image: MahiFX] <https://mahifx.com/> Lee Butts Technology Level 3, 50 Victoria Street Christchurch 8013 New Zealand Mobile: +64 226 908315 Skype: leemahifx <https://www.facebook.com/mahifx> <https://twitter.com/mahiforex> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxCiKv8XEM8GATA8kFFqsAw> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/mahifx> <https://mahifx.com/blog/feed.xml> <https://plus.google.com/+Mahifx/posts> [image: MFX Compass] <http://mfxcompass.mahifx.com/> -- ------------------------------ *IMPORTANT NOTICE*: MahiFX Limited (*MahiFX*), (company no. 2446590) is registered in New Zealand.
