Hello fellow Driilers, I have been inactive on the development side of the project, as we got busy being heavy/power users of the Drill in the last few months.
I just want to share some great experiences with the latest versions of Drill. Just tonight, as we were scrambling to meet the deadline, we were able to query two years of flat psv files of claims/billing and clinical data in Drill in less than 60 seconds. No ETL, no warehousing - just plain SQL against tons of files. Run SQL, get results. Amazing! We have also done some much more important things too, and we had a paper accepted to Big Data Services about the experiences. The co-author of the paper is Drill's own Dr. Ted Dunning :-) I will share it once it is published. Anyway, cheers to all, and hope to re-join the dev activities soon. Best, Edmon
