HNY Drillers! I've dropped a couple of posts on the R sergeant package enhancements as a result of the epic 1.15.0 release (it was a great present for the holidays!).
This: https://rud.is/b/2019/01/09/on-the-road-to-0-8-0-some-additional-new-features-coming-in-the-sergeant-package/ covers some more cosmetic enhancements but also details the fact that the package now takes advantage of the super amazingly cool addition of metadata that Charles added to the REST API JSON result sets. This: https://rud.is/b/2019/01/02/apache-drill-1-15-0-sergeant-0-8-0-pcapng-support-proper-column-types-mounds-of-new-metadata/ talks about 2 things: - I wrapped up the Docker dance so that doing something like `drill_up(data_dir = "~/Data")` in R will pull (if not local already) the latest image and, launch the container, then it maps the value of `data_dir` into `/data` mount point in the container and also setup a `dfs.d` workspace tied to that new mapping so folks don't have to add workspaces manually (or programmatically) after the fact. - Delimited files (e.g. CSV/CSVH) generally require the use of CTAS to get something useful going so there's now a new function that will generate a CTAS statement from a query. There's a complete example in the post so I won't waste email bytes on it here. If there are any sergeant users that have other features they'd like in the package don't ever hesitate to drop an issue on sr.ht, GitLab or GitHub. -Bob
