Hari Sekhon commented on DRILL-624:
-----------------------------------
This should be configurable via a keyword per SQL query since if you configure
it at the storage plugin level then it'll apply to all fields.
Having a session variable for it would also be useful but the query override is
non-optional IMHO.
> Use Header rows (if exists) as metadata for the text readers

>
> Currently the text readers return the data as array all the time. A lot of
> times, the source text files can have header rows which identify the field
> names/metadata for the data.
> If this exists, Drill should leverage it to provide the query experience on
> this metadata directly (just like parquet or JSON).
