Hi Charles,
If these updates are only small simple tasks, it would not be a big
issue to add them to the Drill Release Process (see [1]).
BTW, most of the release work is automated via a script (see section 4
in [1]); so if these updates could be automated as well, it would be a
trivial matter,
Thanks for your useful contributions,

Hello all,
I have a question regarding new Drill features. I have two UDFs which I’ve
been considering submitting but these UDFs will require regular updating. The
features in question are UDFs to do IP Geolocation and a User Agent Parser.
The IP geolocation is dependent on the MaxMind database and associated
libraries. Basically if it were to be included in Drill, every release we
would have to update the MaxMind DB. (This is done in many tools that rely on
it for IP Geolocation)
The other is the user agent parser. Likewise, the only updating it would need
would be to update the pom.xml file to reflect the latest version of the UA
parser. These are both very useful features for security analysis but I wanted
to ask the Drill developer community if this is something we wanted to consider.
