Here are few thoughts based on experiences with past projects -

1. Headers for data files -
We have had csv & txt files without headers for Drill as well. This is for
the data files which do not understand headers.

3. README File -
We can add deploy instructions on starting server and client cli etc. This
would enable user to quickly play around with the project. Few projects
also keep an INSTALL file along with README that has installation specific
information.

4. MD5 Hash-
Few ideas from Aurura
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1069

5. Dev credits -
Many projects give credits on the project's official website rather than
pom file.

Thanks,
Yash
