Thanks John, all. I think this discussion thread is important. As a community member, I learn so much by reading these threads.
Since you work in cyber security research, are there specific things we should think about from a security standpoint for Drill? I know that we have a REST API and I am sure there are web apps being built around it. Are there vulnerabilities that we need to be aware of? How can we advise users about this? Thoughts?
