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.
