People in the community could not see the content. You may paste some discussion to the public JIRA, if you like. 2. I'm still not clear how you will populate "physical_location" for schema other than file system schema. For instance, HBase, MongoDb, JDBC. I understand that Hive will return "location". That makes sense, since Hive only deals with data on file systems. For Drill, it has to connect different storage plugin/schema, including file system schemas. If we put something only works for one type of storage plugin, then we will run into trouble in the future when we have to extend to other storage plugin.
