---------------------------------
Summary: format-excel reader should ignore cell styles
Key: DRILL-8095
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-8095
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Execution - Data Types
Reporter: PJ Fanning
I've recently added a feature to excel-streaming-reader (in v3.3.0) to
optionally ignore cell style information. This is not enabled by default. It
saves memory and processing time to ignore the cell styles.
The current Drill format-excel code does not use the cell styles.
At some point in the future, it may be worth having a Drill feature that allows
it to infer the schema for the sheet based on the cell styles but until such a
feature is added, the parsing the cell styles is a waste of compute resources.
