Thank you Martin and Rajkumar for your prompt responses.

I am actually looking if some API is available which provides this
functionality. In the documentation it is mentioned in :
https://drill.apache.org/docs/architecture-introduction -

*You can connect to Apache Drill through the following interfaces:*

   - *Drill shell*
   - *Drill Web UI*
   - *ODBC
   
<https://drill.apache.org/docs/odbc-jdbc-interfaces#using-odbc-to-access-apache-drill-from-bi-tools>**
   - *JDBC <https://drill.apache.org/docs/using-jdbc/>*
   - *C++ API*


and in http://drill.apache.org/faq/ -
*What clients are supported?*

   - *BI tools via the ODBC and JDBC drivers (eg, Tableau, Excel,
   MicroStrategy, Spotfire, QlikView, Business Objects)*
   - *Custom applications via the REST API*
   - *Java and C applications via the dedicated Java and C libraries*


It would be great if you/somebody can point me to the C++ api or the
dedicated JAVA library or API as mentioned in the documentation.

Thanks and regards,
Nishith Maheshwari
