>>>>>>>>>announcement "Apache Drill is the world's first schema-free SQL query
>>>>>>>>>engine that delivers real-time insights by removing the constraint of
>>>>>>>>>building and maintaining schemas before data can be analyzed. Drill
>>>>>>>>>users can run interactive ANSI SQL queries on complex or constantly
>>>>>>>>>evolving data including JSON, Parquet, and HBase without ever worrying
>>>>>>>>>about schema definitions. As a result, Drill not only enables rapid
>>>>>>>>>application development on Apache Hadoop™ but also allows enterprise
>>>>>>>>>BI analysts to access Hadoop in a self-service fashion."
