Thank you so much. I apologize, looks like someone asked a similar question 
right after I checked the archives yesterday. This looks great.

Subject: Re: REST data source?

 

Hi Rafael, 

Thanks for your interest in Drill.  To answer your question, there is a PR in 
progress which allows you to query REST APIs from Drill. [1]. Here's a link to 
the documentation as well. [2].  The idea behind Drill is to be able to query a 
wide variety of data sources, and this PR will enable you to reach out to REST 
endpoints and query that data. 

 

Mechanically, this is very different from how Drill queries other RDBMS systems 
via JDBC.  If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Thanks,

I know you can use REST API to query against Drill, but can Drill make REST 
queries itself?

 

It might seem unnecessary but if the idea is one stop shop for all querying, I 
don’t see how it’s different than using SQL against Drill which then queries 
against a RDBMS using SQL.

 

Thanks in advance.
