Github user zfong commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/461#issuecomment-210493669 Yes, 8 seconds may still be too long, but it's certainly better than what was there before. We've also been working with Simba to add an "includeSchema" option to the ODBC driver so tools that query from INFORMATION_SCHEMA can further restrict the query to only the relevant tables within the specified schema. That together with this patch should reduce the time significantly. Further improvements may still be needed even beyond this, but I suggest we address those incrementally rather than all at once.
