Hi Houssem,
You should be able to query it using DFS plugin and S3 storage plugin ( I have not tried it with S3 plugin though). You can enable pcap format in storage plugin definition as given below. "formats": { <other formats>, "pcap": { "type": "pcap" } } Also, it would be best to use Drill 1.12 that includes the fix for DRILL-5790<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5790> as per https://drill.apache.org/docs/apache-drill-1-12-0-release-notes/ . I don't have any clue about using Drill with 'R Sergeant library' library. Hopefully, others can throw any lights on this question. Thanks, Arjun ________________________________ From: Houssem Hosni <houssem.ho...@lip6.fr> Sent: Monday, February 5, 2018 9:18 PM To: user@drill.apache.org Subject: PCAP files with Apache Drill and Sergeant R Hi, I am sending this mail with a hope to get some help from you. I am working on making some analysis and prediction models on large pcap files. Can Apache Drill with R Sergeant library help me in this context. Actually the pcap files are so large (MAWI) and they are available on the web(http://mawi.wide.ad.jp/mawi/samplepoint-F/2018/). I want to access them via apache Drill and then make some analysis using Sergeant package (R) that works well with Drill. Should I bring those large MAWI pcap files on the web to Amazon S3 and then access them with DRILL or is it possible to access them directly without amazon storage ? What steps should I start with ? Plese HELP Special THANKS in advance for considering my request. Best regards, Houssem Hosni LIP6 - Sorbonne University houssem.ho...@lip6.fr Place Jussieu, 75005 Paris. Tel: (+0033)0644087200
